Part of the issue is with what YOU label as a fascist and what others would label as fascist may not align. It’s like freedom of speech. As soon as you start trying to make exceptions it becomes a slippery slope of who is the one enforcing it and from what view point. Either it’s all ok to be discussed or none of it is.
You certainly don’t have to agree with them, but I don’t think banning them or trying to cut them out helps anything in the long run. If anything it’s makes the problem worse because then they are only around people that have their same views and their opinions dig in deeper and start multiplying.
Ok so hypothetically what if everyone suddenly thought YOU were a fascist instead? Should we just kill you because we have deemed your stances dangerous and therefore we should end it?
Like you said we don’t talk to you. We don’t debate with you. We dont try and change your opinions. We just kill you because we disagree and it’s ok because we made sure to label you as a group that’s ok to do that with before we did it.
You don’t see the issue with this line of thinking?
Do fascist opinions deserve the light of day? Should we tolerate cryptofascists JAQing off on Lemmy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

You can’t defeat hate by trying to cut it off.
It’s head. yes, that’s exactly what you do with hate. You don’t debate it, you don’t listen to it, you don’t teach it. you kill it with fire.

“what if it was opposite day and you were defending fascist opinions instead of me” really isn’t the gotcha you think it is. words have meanings.
That’s not what I was saying. Good lord you are dense.
