I like the antifa who go up and punch people saying horrible shit - I feel like getting punched is a fair reaction to calling for genocide. It's visceral, it makes a point, and the guy on stage probably deserves to be hit.
I don't like the ones that try to police the Internet and exclude anyone with extreme views. Engaging people like that is the only way to make them less extreme. Isolating them only shows them their only companionship will be through their little cults
I support strongly free speech, I just think sometimes getting punched is a fair response
Tolerating people like that is the best way to let them chip away at and destroy a decent tolerant society.
Not tolerate - engage.
You challenge them, maybe just tell them what they're saying is wrong, ideally you gently prod them to acknowledge conflicts in their ideology.
We have to offer them a path back to acceptance or they'll always be on the other side, ever growing in number
Yeah, I think the same.
As I see it, when one decides that the Rules Of Society shouldn't limit their own words and actions towards others, its only fair that the Rules Of Society also don't protect them from the words and actions of others towards them - "live by the sword, die by the sword" and all that.
