Excellent reason:

I can relate - not the the exact same magnitude, but, I bartended for several years and worked at pubs with “No colours,” dress code policies - meaning no biker gangs/hell’s angels allowed to enter. They don’t exactly have Nazi ideologies, but it’s to prevent the same thing from happening - because that’s what happens to bars when certain crowds form. So, either you’re that kind of place and accept the problems that come with it, or you’re not.

I also worked at a bar that was a HA/gangster hangout.. witnessed plenty of bad fights, only myself and the bar owners daughter were allowed to know the recipe for and make a certain full patch members’ drink, several of the regular customers from that place died in drug gang shootings etc. So this article is not far off the mark At All (If any?) about the realities of what happens when certain segments of society congregate at some nightlife spot & IMO its pretty awesome of The bartender in the story to do what he does.

In America while Nazis have a right to right to free speech, they don't have a right to be employed by you or hired by you, or be on your website. I agree with both propositions. My issue is that people have taken liberties with their right to associate with whom they want to ban everybody who disagrees with them and to claim that those who disagree with them have no free speech rights. In the America of 2020 too often this means that anybody that disagrees with you is either an Antifa communist or a Nazi. This defeats the purpose of the right to free speech which is to allow new and unconventional ideas the opportunity to get a hearing.

Free speech and democracy does come with the inherent opening for bad actors to take advantage. There is always going to be two conflicting valid arguments. One argument says the best way to keep fringe bad actors from gaining power is to ignore them, do not give the attention seekers attention, the other side will retort that did not work out so well for the Jews in Nazi Germany did it, thus anything that remotely has the potential to get Nazis in power must be stamped out immediately and stamped out by any means necessary and beyond. It is situational and always a fraught judgment.

There is a saying "the price of freedom". That price usually refers to soldiers dying in war. The price also involves giving voice to people that want to destroy freedom.

But I remember a WP thread on some California bar that banned gangsta-style clients after 10 p.m., they got sh1tload of racism accusations.

This is analogous to what happens to gay people.

A bartender doesn't want his bar becoming a "gay bar", so he kicks gay people out.

Nazi insignia are illegal in my part of the world but even without it, I find it weird that anyone wants to identify with them today. What the ones who wear them mean? That it was okay to start a war that killed tens of millions?

The fact is that the US didn’t start World War 2 like the Nazis did.

We are justly proud of our victory in that war—our last real “victory.”

So, you think if Americans did the Holocaust, you would be proud of it? Because of the "being proud of your wars" thing?

We certainly weren’t proud of our involvement in wars after World War 2.

Thanksgiving has to do with the indigenous people helping the European people when they couldn’t grow their crops.

Unfortunately, the Europeans weren’t grateful to the Native Americans—to say the least.

But please do not distort the meaning of Thanksgiving. Very few people actually “deep fry” turkey.

It sounds like a wise policy. Alberta doesn't allow one to bring rats into the province under similar logic.
