130. It's not so different
1930's Germany did allow the Nazis to organize and grow, which is what you seem to want.

"Here, we would not allow hate groups to beat & intimidate people over opposition speech.

Rather, we would allow GOOD speech to combat the bad speech."

:rofl:

What? There were plenty who spoke against the Nazis, but it didn't matter, because as I've said, insane people don't respond to reason. "Good speech" does nothing but waste oxygen after a certain point, thinking that it does is as naive as it is delusional.

Yes, the Nazis preyed on people's emotions. They gave them a scapegoat, a group to blame for everything, a group that can be made to seem responsible for so much misfortune.... Are you really saying that couldn't possibly be done here? It practically has already.
