Politics, fascism vs progressivism
Every time someone says we 'just need to debate fascists and people with extreme views' and I find myself maybe thinking that's true, I just remind myself: their beliefs include genocide, mass murder. Almost every human society in history has decided that's wrong. How could this ideology be right?
The answer of course is, it can't.
Politics, fascism vs progressivism
@philpem As a general rule, debating with extremists never works out well for anyone. You're not going to change their mind, and it's unlikely that there's a compromise position that would be acceptable to anyone with a conscience. All you're doing is giving them a platform to spread their hate.
