      fascists and their sympathizers (also fascists) should not feel comfortable in polite company. I am saying this very diplomatically.

        There is a social contract, and those who break the social contract are not protected by its rules. Fascists don’t treat people with respect and deserve none in kind. Because respect is a two-way street.
