"It's not like they're hurting anyone" is not the greatest argument when it comes to racists and anti-semites. While I strongly believe they're not capable of planning the second holocaust, promoting a disbelief in the suffering of a minority, a promotion of an us-or-them mentality, and a vehement hatred toward the other group is not exactly unheard of historically speaking.
Also is that the community that Reddit was designed to foster? Seriously, the "no damage" argument works to an extent but Reddit is hosting their sorry asses, what does Reddit owe them? I'm not saying I've got the answer to that question, I'm saying it's a question that ought to be asked.
