An idea.

[Game Girl]

I was feeling down today. So I took a stroll through Stormfront. ALL BETTER! :laugh:

I was thinking. Maybe we should allow Stormfront members to post in the Opposing Ideaology section, like they let us do with them. C'mon, whats the harm? They can come here and try and defend themselves and obviously, we oppose them and explain why. Besides, it'll be fun.

What do you guys think?

This has been raised loads of times in the past on RL, but it won't happen.

They're scum with no valid position worth arguing against. It's like debating with Holocaust deniers (which many Stormfronters no doubt are); the position is so ludicrous and far from reality that your argument about gas chambers, corpses, etc. is useless on them, despite it being so obvious. You can't convince irrational people with rational argument.

Also, how does looking at Stormfront make you feel better? It's just tragic that these people are alive and breathing. :/

It makes me grin knowing that such insane and laughable ideas will NEVER happen. Plus, the stuff they come out with is obvious lies, yet they are convinced they are telling the truth.

While I personally don't think that its a bad idea to debate fascists because that will merely make us oppose them more, the servers are in Germany. And that's sort of the end of that. Because the servers are in Germany we can't allow for them to post or else the site might get shut down, I believe as in Germany open support for the Third Reich is illegal.

No.

I would love to cream fascists in debate, but the board owner is from Germany, and Germany has laws which would make him liable for prosecution if the authorities find out that fascists are posting on his board. Therefore, the site has a no platform policy against fascists.

Ah, I understand. Thank you all. :)

Neo Fascist parties are increasingly popular in Europe. While some of the more bizarre ideas will no doubt never come to fruition - racist violence, deportations and ethnic cleansing, however, will continue to occur.

Isn't that why people like us exist? To stop them?

[Who?]

I troll SF pretty hard when I'm bored.

[La Comédie Noire]

This bears repeating. Fascists are part of a subculture that collects information in order to disrupt and perpetrate violence against Leftists. I know there's a disconnect between real life and the internet, but there are real life consequences to the information they could obtain from being buddy, buddy with forum members.

Yes, Fascism is marginal right now, and yes in some places it is just a "boy and his dog," but it only takes one true believer in the "racial cause" to pull a trigger.

[Le Libérer]

We have a no fascist platform here. No way will that ever happen.
Game girl, if you want to engage fascists go there and do it.
