So much disdain, and yet so little argument. Did I say we should mute and not argue with intolerant people ? No, I was precise, and you did not : If we would tolerate intolerant people, we would expose segregate people to even more segregation “Freedom of speech”, “intolerant”, “rationality”, … you are repeating terms that mean nothing without concrete situation. Segregated people are muted by their oppressor; so long for the freedom of speech, and the rationality. If people wants to speak to nazis and de-radicalized them, good luck to them. The point was to not make others have to be around those nazi because a WASP want to de-radicalized them; doing so will just make a community more nazi, and less queer or racialized. Ideas are not disembodied, their are link to people; without a social diversity, their is no diversity of opinion. Again, the post was about communities.
