    Yeah, no. This is a myth invented by the alt-right designed to discourage deplatforming them.

    Actually it does help. It makes it harder for them to monetize. It makes it harder for them to spread their propaganda. It makes it harder for them to legitimize their bullshit. It makes it harder for them to recruit.

    You don't talk to Nazis or give them a platform. Because that is what they want. (Why would you want to help them?)

    You talk about their bullshit and dismantle it and educate without letting them give their input.

    Making it harder for them to monetize and all that stuff can in the end just make them angry and likely to do something violent.. The better way is to ignore them while they spout off their rhetoric, until they are blue in the face..

    But it still has to go somewhere, and where ever they end up could make it harder for the authorities to keep an eye on them..

    White nationalism is becoming an increasing plague as it receives increasing media exposure and public acceptability. Plus it's the standard tactic for any extremist movement.

    Yes, it does, as they have no platform for their propaganda.

    They should have no platform.

    I wish I could say that I was shocked that this thread is still open.
    Populists (and "national socialists") look at the supposedly secret deals that run the world "behind the scenes". Child's play. Except that childishness is sinister in adults.

    A cop should be better trained to handle his fear. But I see what you tried to do there.

    I see you could not be bothered to answer my question.. As I said if the problem is swept under the rug it will be harder to deal with later on.. And you said that it was a myth invented by the alt-right, and I said prove it to be so and so far you have not..

    Does not mean you have to give them any exposure.

    But I thought kids with guns are terrifying and dangerous. Can't take any chances like with this girl.

    Easy does it. Easy does it.

    The options are;

    1> Let it sit right out in the open, stinking up everything and making us look like morons.
    2> Sweep it under the rug where it's out of sight at least.
    3> Aggressively exterminate it with whatever force is required.

    Since we're not gonna do #1, that means if you want us to stop "sweeping it under the rug", you're suggesting we need to use much stronger tools to purge anyone holding these views from society.

    So which measures do you support? Just criminalizing these views, with indefinite sentence until they are rescinded? Exile from the nation? Summary execution?

    Are can we just ban the Nazis and shitheads when they break the rules and maybe have them stop being whiny little bitches about it all the damn time?

    I actually encourage you guys to sweep it under the rug. It'll make it more hilarious when this shit never dies and you're stuck going "But I thought we got rid of them".

    A kid with a gun that says "I don't see what reason you and your family have to be alive anymore"

    You may also notice that an no point have a i called for this kid to be executed.

    Nobody's trying to "get rid of them", in the first place. And nobody's ever argued that white supremacism and Nazism were "gotten rid of", except for right-wingers who were lying to try and open society up for such views again.
