That’s exactly how you get fascist takeovers. You dismiss them as impotent, foolish and misguided, extremist fringes, vocal minorities, etc., until it’s too late. Have you learned absolutely nothing from even just the past two decades in the US??
No.
Tolerance is a Paradox. In order to build a tolerant society, we cannot tolerate the intolerant.
I think some of the other commenters have made some great points, but I mainly replied anything because your idea that society could function by tolerating the existence of fascists is foolishly optimistic and one doesn’t have to look very far into the past at all to see why.
If not death, then how do you propose ceasing their existence? Plenty of suggested re-education of various sort, which i have agreed with. If thats what you intend, we already agree. Others have suggested forms of incarceration, which i oppose as a prison abolitionist.
This is not Christianity, we don’t forgive and forget. No mercy to fascists.
Yikes fam
I’m not sure which part of history taught you that singing kumbaya with fascists will work.
I didnt say anything about allowing them to steer nations, have guns, or any power over others at all. Just, let them eat, sleep, be healthy.

Death is not the only way to dis-tolerate fascists, and is also not the best way to prevent new fascists.
I never said anything about death.
