engaging in dialogue with radicals legitimizes their rhetoric and gives them a public platform to spread their radical ideas

Okay but if you engage them and make people see that they are not only radical but also idiots, that defuses the problem pretty effectively

Because an ideological quarantine really turned people off from eating ass. The more you refuse to talk about something the more it will happen.

if you could do that in a way that somehow flawlessly convinces everyone, sure. what happens in practice though is that, when you give an ideology a platform in public policy, people entertain the ideas and become accustomed to them. people don't go whole hog on promoting radical ideas from the start because they aren't oblivious to mainstream politics. by engaging them in public debate, you're giving them the tools to slowly shift the overton window in their favor.

besides, people are already numb to the contention that ideas can be immoral. calling someone tribal isn't incredibly compelling when juxtaposed with pretty-sounding white supremacist ideology, even if it's true

never talk trash about the legendary tyler1 ever again

gee I sure love it when people destroy memorials for fallen soldiers because they're loving lobotomites

why don't they just drive a car through a confederate cemetery, at this point they're pretty much begging for the national socialists' gripes to be legitimized

ah yes. the "alt-left" was "charging in with clubs" ... "without a permit."

I mean there's footage of Antifa attacking people all over the place. It happens.

I mean even if someone literally does drive a car through a Confederate cemetery, I don't think that puts national socialists in the right.
