Fascism thrives on tolerance.
If you tolerate fascists, then fascism has that much more of a chance to take over. Italy showed us that, and Germany proved the point.

We can’t be tolerant of *everything.*
Some things need to be off limits, need to be out of the bounds of “free speech” — that which is an existential threat to any kind of freedom, like fascism — I believe we must be INTOLERANT of that.

We can’t be liberals who never take the fight to fascists, who constantly go out of our way to make them and their poison ideas feel welcomed.
I believe the generation almost a century ago in the 1930s called that sort of thing “appeasement.”

Fascists don’t give a shit about “truth” — it’s better for them if it doesn’t exist at all, so they can say what is real and what is not.
HOW CAN YOU TOLERATE THAT??
To discuss things with Marjorie Taylor Greene, like how is that possible?
To compromise with Josh Hawley?

Anyways. I just think progressives ceding things to fascists in order to “calm them down” is never going to work, as any abused spouse will tell you.
