When someone tells you they're a nazi, there's no downside to taking them at their word.
Maybe but ruining the life of a 15 year old saying dumb shit doesn't feel quite the same as an adult who knows the weight of their position.
I admit I was 15 over 30 years ago, but has something changed between now and then? Because I don't remember anyone when I was 15 not understanding that "pretending" to be a Nazi to piss people off was beyond the pale.
Maybe these are just Nazis?
Probably the safety of anonymity on the internet is my guess
Yeah, this is a big one, and has been a major reason for a lot of recent terrorism (like doxing and sending threatening packages to people's family and swatting). Without being held liable for their actions, a lot of shitty people feel emboldened to act in ways they would never dare offline. And that's not even getting into stuff like the grooming tactics of extremist groups online, convincing kids that minorities are why they think their life sucks.
"Anonymity" on the internet.
If they aren't and their life is "ruined" because of a mistake, it's an important life lesson. Your actions have consequences.
Nazism is a plague on humanity. There is literally no benefit to it existing.
So if it ruins the lives of some dumb kids who think they are cool for mimicking literal hate groups, then so be it. The chance of them joining them at a later date is too huge.
The only other option is to allow Nazis, which is not an option in any way shape or form.
The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
