Tech bro: "Violence is wrong! You should debate nazis, not punch them! I think their ideas are reasonable enough such that if a nazi gets punched, I begin to sympathise with them!"
Nazi: "It is right for me and others like me to cause harm, and my victims deserve it. Everyone else is subhuman. Anything I say publicly is behind a facade of reasonable-ness so that I can continue existing in society."
Tech bro: "Wow, interesting. Reminds me of some of the great thinkers, like Musk and Jobs. Tell me more!"
Nazi: "If given the opportunity to form a coalition of power, I will use that power to satisfy my bloodlust. You saying my ideas are reasonable gives me that space to inflict violence of every kind against all groups that I oppose."
Tech bro: "Sooooo reasonable and valid!"
