Yeah, you're not wrong. It's just a slippery slope is all. I hope that the crazy people are in such a minority that it isn't an issue, but I also don't want a 4th Reich. Trying to maintain a moral position isn't easy in such grey areas.

Until someone or multiple people are inciting violence then it isn't our responsibility to tell them what they can and can't say. That's one of the give-and-takes of Free Speech.

Good point, but YT also has guidelines for its use and if they aren't breaking them, it'd be easy for them to make a case that they've been wronged. Being the good guys isn't easy, and we can't take preventative measures on people who haven't done anything wrong yet.

I count “being a fascist” as having already done something wrong. Don’t you?

I can disagree with what someone is saying or thinking without trying to encroach on them. I think that racists and fascists are idiotic at best, but I'm fine with them existing until they start encroaching on someone else

They reasonably make members of federally protected people feel unsafe. That is encroachment.

They should be avoided. I'm not too big on certain YTers, but I don't demand they be shaken from the platform. It's encroachment when it's targeted

You see as long as it's not the government doing the encroachment there's nothing wrong it, although they are not allowed to discriminate against people in protected groups. Racists don't qualify.

Humans qualify. Ideas come and go out of favor among people. In 1940s America, black people were valued as much as we value racists now. I'm trying to give actual equality of opinion while still holding everyone to the same rules. This is what equality is, there are downsides.
