Lol, that's not how you stop fascists.
We must only do one thing.
In the history of fascist movements, being mean to them hasn't stopped their political actions or their motivations.
This is a fine thing to do since it's probably best not to associate with people who are inherently dangerous but it doesn't stop them.
There's only one proven way to stop a fascist and their movement.
I dunno', I'd argue open war is pretty "mean" to do. It might even be the meanest.
You can't "be mean" to fascists or fascism.
It's a violent movement that seeks to eradicate those it sees as 'other' and to tightly control the rest.
The only viable course of action against true fascism is to respond to it in kind and to not relent.
We are saying basically the same thing. I'm arguing that "being mean" is OK and should extend to physical defense of one's right to live without gross opression.
Being "mean" in this way HAS stopped fascism in the past.
In the history of fascist movements, being mean to them hasn’t stopped their political actions or their motivations.
That alone hasn't stopped them, but it does play a real part. Even just looking at resources alone, it detracts from their movement and its ability to operate. In my country, social ostracization has played a key role at thwarting their propaganda efforts and recruitment events, even reducing their reach in other reactionary circles.
Dunno why you're downvoted. Fascists never gave up power to anyone who waved signs in the permitted area.
