(4,377 posts)I said you can use the format of a reasoned debate to destroy their feeble nonsense, and do so in a way that makes them look foolish. People who look foolish people are far less likely to attract supporters. People who are shouted out of town are much more likely to.
What do you think happens after one of those hate mongers gets shouted out of a university or uninvited? They get free press, more money and sympathy support from likeminded assholes. They also get to use video footage and press coverage to convince gullible people that they're the good guys and we're the violent extremists.
Being the better people isn't just about being nicer, its about tactically undermining these hate merchants in the most effective and efficient way possible.
