Attention economy?

The US really needs an anti-nazi law similar to germany. If we can't kill them outright, lock them up. I fully support outlawing nazis, and any other groups that support mass genocide of fellow citizens and armed insurrection/civil war (outlaw as in outside the law's protection).

No, it doesn't. Anyone should be able to say any stupid thing they wish, believe in any stupid thing they wish, etc. That's not a path you want to go down. When they act on those beliefs -

armed insurrection/civil war

there are already protections against that (life, liberty, property).

Stupid things? Sure, nazi things == you die.

Threatening violence gets you jail time already.

Agreeing with Nazi views should be fine, calling yourself a nazi, organizing neo-nazi groups, displaying symbols and speech with intent to further murderous/genocidal propaganda, much like "screaming fire in a crowd" should not only be illegal and criminal but worthy of capital punishment imho.
