I understand your point of view, but there is an argument to be made that forcing these views underground hasn't helped. Having it out in the open where we can respond to it and expose its intellectual bankruptcy might be better.

When someone gets pipelined into those dark corners they only get the propaganda. Nobody is engaging with them, and with the data we have on the level of literacy in this country too many don't have the tools to see through it on their own.
I'm not arguing for bothsidesing. I'm not even arguing deplatforming is a bad idea. I'm arguing that this kind of "purity test" mentality where we demonize people for not making the exact same ethical decisions we do as the enemy isn't productive. And mayben either is leaving those spaces sometimes.
