    How’d we solve the previous round of Nazis? Polite patience and understanding?

    Identifying when people threaten everyone you love and telling them to fuck right off is being better than them.

      I’m not saying we tolerant intolerance. Just not we shouldn’t be first to violence. Milkshakes fine, rocks, not fine. Mock them don’t hit them.

        What do you think intolerance of intolerance entails?

        … is a milkshake to the face not “hitting them?”

          If it’s just to make them look silly and not liked, but not actually hurt.

          If someone stabbed Farage, he’d make such hay of it. I’d half expect him to have arranged it! Wouldn’t surprise me if he arranged the odd milkshake too, to keep him in the news.

            Oh no, making hay. That totally cancels out getting stabbed.

            Sick to death of this nothing-works attitude. Yeah - there is no course of action that fascists won’t claim proves them right. Stop listening to fascist claims. They lie. They’re fascists. That’s their schtick. But in the same way as deplatformed cranks shouting ‘I was cancelled!’ to an empty room, and spanked children insisting ‘that didn’t hurt!,’ sometimes you can ignore the words coming out of their stupid mouths.

              We don’t have to give them a platform. Not quite the same as deplatforming. Farage is given way to much platform for the votes he gets.

                    Yes. Exclusion is part of it, as surely as preventing the same asshole from starting another account on the same service. Why would you wait and see if someone booted for being a fascist is still gonna be a fascist if given a shiny new megaphone?
