I am someone who believes that if we can't tolerate different opinions in different spaces that isn't a good way to engage in good faith anyway

So you've not been paying attention the last 20 years? Letting Nazis be Nazis on your platform just turns it into a Nazi platform

    Everything you're saying is just fear mongering in my opinion. Also bad faith as you only point out the most extreme examples right off the bat. I don't engage with extremism you ARE a part of the problem.

    The problem is giving them a platform has let the extremists on the Right to come to power in the United States. Hearing differing opinions is one thing, tolerating the attacking of minorities and the destruction of a functioning government is another. How much debate are we supposed to engage in before we say enough is enough?

    No, they're completely right. Destructive, hateful opinions are not "just different opinions", they are actively destroying and bastardizing the discussions and making people feel unwelcome. They are not to be tolerated unless you want all normal people to leave and only the assholes to stay, just like what is happening with Twitter.

    Fuck nazis and their sympathizers.
