So, it's okay to remove the free speech of others because you're scared that these idiots are going to be voted into power? Do you honestly think that an actual white supremacist is going to be voted into power? Do you honestly think that these people have the support of anyone outside of they're small, almost non-existent groups?

if your argument is so pathetically weak that the only way you can prevent white supremacists from beating you in today's political climate is by preventing them from voicing their opinions in public forums, you really need to reevaluate

Yeah that's another thing. The reason fringe, extremist viewpoints are seen as fringe and extremist is because people are allowed to engage them in public and destroy them with logic. By removing the ability to downvote and comment on these videos, they're allowing them to exist in a vacuum with no criticism. They'll be pushed to the areas of the internet where white supremacists congregate in echo chambers and become more entrenched in their beliefs. It's not smart. It's not smart whatsoever.
