I usually just ignore them.

I find that a lot of crazy right wingers do it to “own the libs” or get a rise out of their supposed enemies. It’s all just a sports game to people like that.

If you ignore them they get bored and stop being so staunch in their awful beliefs. When you fight with them it makes them feel like they’re right. You end up forcing them to rationalize every shitty position.

Almost nobody posts on the internet trying to challenge and reconsider their beliefs, so it’s not like you’re going to change their mind anyway.

I mean that’s what I think, at least

Does ignoring the fascists make them go away? Please.

So now you're accusing us of making fascists more fascist, as an excuse for your ridiculous theory of just ignoring fascism.

like you’re going to change their mind anyway.

Its not even about changing their minds. Its about forcing them out of shared spaces. Fascists should driven out, shamed, harassed, and redacted.

What you think is lib bullshit that gets your spaces infiltrated and taken over by fascists and reactionaries.

You want to ignore them fine, but don't condescend to people who confront them and drive them out of shared spaces as if you have a more "mature" solution. Your solution is literally "if i close my eyes they go away" baby logic
