    Disagree. Society responding to this shown that society is healthy. If we go out of our way to preserve defeated enemies (Confederate traitors, Nazism), why don't we erect a statue of Al Baghdadi and have ISIS marching in DC.

    Almost quote: The dark night of fascism is always descending upon America and always landing in Europe.

    Free speech is not some ideal but what works better than suppression.

    They weren't pushed underground, and the publicity they're getting from having so few people show up to their Unite The Blight rally is basically just a publicly display of impotence.

    I do believe in engaging the racists. However, I do not want to be on the same side as Antifa, regardless of how noble. On DI, we do debate people with extreme views, and everyone is the better for it. Being racists or extremists is a way of thinking, having it in the open is safer for me (I think). Institutional racism is a big problem. Why, because it is hidden?
