My beliefs on this matter are the same as Voltaire, and I will use a quote of his to best lay them out.
"I may not like what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
Freedom of speech. Completely agree with it to nearly any extent, but using the harm principle, you can decide what speech is protected under this code.
Basically if you do no harm then no harm shall be done to you. But as people associate "Nazi" with "killing jews", you going around saying you're a Nazi may cause psychological harm to people. Now I can admit this is sort of a gray area because the person could simply just stop listening and walk away, where I would say it causes harm is if you force any of your ideas on them, not even causing physical harm, but if you follow them around knowing that they are uncomfortable or in some distress because of it, then that is no longer protected speech.
In the case you laid out Shemen, where you have your specific views, but do not act on them, I would say that you should not be discriminated against for it. On that note, if you have those views, it only seems logical that the "right" way for things to be would be for the world to follow your views, therefore, people could be justified in thinking that you will act... someday.
I'll use the example of a failed, pre-meditated murder. If someone were to plan out all the details (when, how, etc) for a murder, but were found out before any action was taken, they could claim that they were not actually intending to kill that person, that they just fulfilled their views, which would be that this person should be dead. Whether or not they were going to kill the person doesn't matter, it's their views that got them into jail.
Could be a similar situation with your "Neo-Nazi" example.

discrimination is unjust treatment of people who did nothing to deserve it. Discriminating against other people makes other people hate you which is a just cause for hate. If people do something wrong and you don't like them because of that then thats not discrimination.
I'm not a fan of that definition, because there are certain things that people of a certain age or sex can do better or more efficiently than their counterparts. Race should not come into it simply because it does not really affect abilities.
Age or Sex are obvious ones because take construction work for example;
the average 20 year old is more suited for the job than the average 60 year old.
Just as the average male is more suited for it than the average female.
This is based solely on the physical strength, where as younger men tend to be better suited for that job.
If I wanted to go in-depth about it, I could reference the "Hunter-Gatherer" days in evolutions past... but I'm sure the point sinks in with just that.
