Unsure if this is serious but Schadenfreude is somewhat like the satisfaction you get when someone gets karma/gets what you think they deserve (in a negative way).

"I do not imply that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion". - Karl Popper, clarifying that statement you cited

One shouldn't kill a communist that is simply voicing their opinion, one should however kill a second Stalin.

That may be the case but whatever theocratic white-supremacist trump-supporter he was, I think advocating for the murder of a person because he advocated for the murder of a person (or at least implied that) doesn't make one any better than him, if that makes sense.

People are talking about him having spread hatred (which he did) and are at the very same time spreading hatred about him. Quite ironic in a way...

Could you elaborate on that hatred for feminists? Couldn't find much on him spreading hatred for feminists (apart from him disagreeing with them)

About his statements on trans people I was quite surprised (I acknowledge that is clearly hatred). I couldn't stop noticing, however, that his statements about trans people (implying that they should be murdered on the street) are almost the exact same thing people are saying about him (he deserved to be murdered like that). Both are - in my opinion - inhumane radical extremist positions and holding the latter, imo, gives illegitimely gives a justification to the latter (as in - murder on the basis of ideology being acceptable).

The issue is that if you think it's justified to kill people on the basis of views that you (radically) disagree with, then that same justification could be used by them to justify killing you, right?

(Also, I think calling him a nazi doesn't do the victims of actual nazis justice, the latter of whom certainly did more than verbally expressing a radical ideology; but this just on the side)

At least if you lived in a socialist place before that naturally left you so helpless that you now wish for the heavy restrictions to be back because you rely on them.
