When the intent is to cause violence, even if it's not you doing the violence, there is a legitimate societal interest in telling you to cut that shit out.

We're told to pretend the golden rule always applies... but I'm pretty okay with supremacist bigots being treated worse, no matter which side they're on. If someone's motivations amount to terrorism and genocide then the exact nature of their actions is kinda secondary.
