The idea that hosting a Nazi discussion stream with 10,000 viewers is politically neutral is about as plausible as the idea that vlogging a suicide corpse raises awareness for mental health.
(I totally agree that @DickCoughlan calling Richard Spencer a rotten spunk smudge would have improved the stream 500 fold.)https://twitter.com/GPSolomon/status/949452130074624006 …
So you’d suggest fascism to combat fascism? While I agree their ideas are disgusting, I think the best way to combat those ideas is to expose them for what they are and show other people that they are wrong and why.
"I think the best way to combat those ideas is to expose them for what they are and show other people that they are wrong and why." I agree, but hosting a stream for Spencer and his ideological neighbors is not a good way to do this.
Giving a "bad idea" a voice only reveals to the world that it is a bad idea.
If you are honestly afraid to let someone speak in fear that others might agree with their ideas, odds are either it's not a bad idea, or your ideas are. #Freespeechabsolute
