Fascism is literally just a political ideology. If people want to think that's a good idea who are we to do anything other than tell them why it's not? Discuss it? Can't discuss things with people who immediately go ape shit if your view is not the same as theirs.

What. Excuse me. When did it become okay to say that a group of people who believe in the genocide of a people have a right to speak?
“Your right to swing ends where my nose begins.”
Edit: In the words of Karl Popper, “Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.”
We have people literally lynching black people again.
We have hate groups proudly displaying their symbols.
How many subreddits have been banned at this point for calling for genocide, violence, and murder against people *simply born different?*
If your so stupid that you think giving people a platform to argue their ideas of hatred is a worthwhile endeavor, then you’re either a part of the problem via complicity or because you *are the problem* and are trying to give yourself a platform.
It isn’t logical to give hatred a platform.
Fascism, is intricately linked to genocide historically. People who wave the Nazi flag, what exactly do you think they would do with power?

Lol. Why does everything have to be a debate? We know the right does not argue in good faith, there is no point debating the pros and cons of fascism on reddit.

Did you just say that we should tolerate literal fascists?
