That OP is willing to accept everyone, by effectively saying “it takes all kinds.”
I wholeheartedly disagree, of course. One’s actions define who a person chooses to be and if those actions are harmful to others, then they should endure the consequences.
I don’t think it takes all kinds, we’d be better off without assholes, but so long as we have assholes, we need to figure out a way to handle them, because if we just try getting rid of them, we end up with a bunch of sneaky assholes who are aligned against the rest of society.
Getting rid of fascists works actually. The reasonable thing to do is try to educate those who will listen, deplatform those who will not, and imprison or exile those who try to act on their politics. The few who are left over won’t be able to build up enough of a movement to do anything. They’re just terrorists who want to fuck it up for everyone and institute totalitarian corporatist society, if we tolerate their right to frozen peaches, everything goes to shit.
Other than that I agree wholeheartedly with your main point. Everyone but fascists deserves a place in society, a home, a job, education, and health care. If we crack down on fascists, we can have that.
