I think the ideal moment to ban them was years ago. The next best one is right now.

And I agree, now that we've waited so long (gee, I wonder if the far-right Verfassungsschutz leader had anything to do with that?), banning them will be ugly and lead to civil unrest. I think realistically, we will need some major state repression of these Neonazis and good luck with that given the political leanings of police.

But I don't think there's a way around that at this point, we still have to try.

"Wehret den Anfängen" and "Never Again" and all that.

Maybe, but otoh, action bias alone is a terrible advisor.

"You gotta do something" is correct, but not every something is suited.

But I think at this point we're entering the circular stage, so. Idk. I don't want to live in this world we see developing, but what I want seems to be not all that relevant to said world.

Look at this tyrant trying to ban popular ideas that he doesn’t like.
