They're arguing that education corrupt the mind and make people intolerant and the evidence of that is that Nazis are called out as being bad and worth resisting

So this may be a dumb question, but wouldn't shutting down all these hate sites, doxxing all the Nazis at rallies, etc etc. just make them more apt to band together and start some poo poo? Not specifically FR, but all these alt-right and Nazi idiots? Is it crazy to think they'd all get together over a shared marginalization and start just one large group? I was thinking about this the other day, and there have been a few groups over the course of history that have been formed thanks to the general public driving them underground. Is this a possibility, or am I just misreading things?

What removing hate sites does is make it harder for fascists to congregate, organize, and recruit. Plus it's a symbolic gesture to say that fascists will not be tolerated.

The 90's "patriot" movement achieved something similar by utilizing the persecution-by-the-government narrative after Ruby Ridge and Waco, but quickly re-splintered due to white nationalists being highly unpleasant and hard to get along with. The Oklahoma City bombing did happen partially as a result of this, though, so it's not something that can just be dismissed out of hand.

The alt-right only exists because video game discussion forums were too tolerant of fascist messages and lots of alienated and lonely young men began to think of it as a solution to their problems. The less people hear about fascism, the less likely they are to become fascists.

And that's in all walks of life, not just the obvious ones.

First they came for the Nazis and I guess that didn't really matter since their ideology centers around the extermination of groups like me and wouldn't have spoken up for me anyway.

Freep turning against Mattis is nuts. The military adores the man, so you'd think Freep would follow suit. I guess until he starts getting into the wrongthink.

Freep, like most conservatives, don't actually care about the military except as a hammer in which to kill people they don't like.

In fact it's kinda worse, because if Nazis get banned from gaming forums they don't get a chance to spread hate to young people. If they don't get banned, but everyone dogpiles on them and flames them every time they post, they start getting sympathy from any young posters whose politics tend a little to the far right naturally.

From this they derive the corollary "What I like is good" which leads to "What I don't like can't be good".

Freepers argued that his being sent to military school for discipline problems means that he's a great choice for Commander in Chief: quote:Trump grew up in the Jamaica Estates neighborhood of Queens. He attended the Kew-Forest School from kindergarten through seventh grade. At age 13, he enrolled in the New York Military Academy, a private boarding school, after his parents discovered that he had made frequent trips into Manhattan without their permission.[15][16]

There's no historical evidence for your great-great-great-great-great-grandfather either dude, but I'm pretty sure he existed. There is nothing implausible about the basic story of Jesus: a guy with a common Roman Judea name who did typical manual labor for most of his life before turning to religion and doing some of his own preaching, and then getting hyped up by his followers until he pulls some stunt to anger the local powerbrokers. Just like there is nothing implausible about the basic story of Mohammed. It's actually far less likely that there was no original guy named, essentially, Josh, then that he was deliberately created by mixing up multiple individuals. Remember we barely have records of emperors and important kings of a lot of that time, so it's hardly surprising that a guy who was only really important to a few hundred-few thousand people tops when he died isn't getting preserved through the ages.
