Unity on the marquee; jeers in the body. Legal, sure. De-escalation, no. Reads like the prior “bad person” slip, only louder.

Because people keep escalating the fascist actions

Which actions, exactly? Name the act and cite the authority (statute, policy, or order) and the remedy you want. Serious claims run on particulars.

You made the claim; burden’s yours. If the ask is “unity” while you run “peace be upon him” and “NAZI NAZI…,” what exactly are you promoting?

Yeah it's a response to someone saying that you are banned from using the word Nazi. What it achieves is asserting my rights to free speech in the face of someone who is trying to take them away. Now establish exactly how that causes harm.

No one “bans” your word here; a commenter isn’t the State. Rights aren’t at risk. Chanting NAZI proves you can speak; it doesn’t persuade. It predictably spikes outrage, deepens out-group hostility, and makes moderates go quiet. In a brittle moment, that’s real harm.
