Depsite popular belief, including nazis and fascists in debates is NOT something productive towards freedom of speech

@Siphonay That sounds strange as a general conclusion. Shouldn´t it be more akin to "Don´t include those unwilling to debate the pros and cons of their beliefs and are willing to do so in a discourse form applicable to allow for mind-alteration?"...?

@Richard_ermen @Siphonay Can understand this too but perhaps in Simonays region "obvious fascist looks/behaves like obvious fascist" (i.e dress, online statements, actual involvement in direct, maybe violent action against percieved enemies)

Such a person is *much* harder to engage in constructive debate compared to a well educated friend who just lost their admin or tech job to an outsourcing contract and is angry at the foreigners who "took their work".

@Siphonay And any other idealogue who doesn't required reasoning to support their idea and who doesn't accept arguments conflicting with it.
