>>14404076>Preventing right wingers from spreading hate speech and disinformationhas failed, full stop, by meeting it with outright hostility instead of good faith attempts to engage in discussion. you want a shortcut to persuasion through legislation. it's not that easy, and it never will be - and it stands a good chance of making the whole situation worse
give these people room to express an idea, and push back on the idea with your own. sometimes it doesn't work. that's life. but never vindicate these people by telling them outright you are afraid of what they might have to say - the only rational response to being accused of "criminal ideas" is defensive.
and yeah, it might make you uncomfortable. meaningful change usually is. the whole group comes out better if you just drop the adversarial approach entirely: we have a model for defeating "hate speech" that works, Daryl Davis proved that. you will never be free of it if all you do is cover your ears

all you stand to lose by engaging with them is a bit of your certainty - i try to shed as much of my certainty as i can. that is how we learn and grow, and if you want them to learn and grow beyond hatefulness, you'll need to understand how that works.
>Your anger and aggression stems from your low intelligenceableism is not a good look for someone professing to be against hatred. engage with the idea, not your personal judgment of the person who holds it.
