Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

If a nazi walks into a bar and everyone else leaves, it becomes a nazi bar. (sh.itjust.works)

See, the problem is that there cannot be any 'dialogue' or 'sharing space' with a Nazi because a dialogue implies two way communication and sharing the space is implicit acceptance of their views. You cannot ask a cancer nicely to leave your body any more than you can discuss the pros and cons of racial superiority/inferiority or ethnic cleansing or any other Nazi talking points.

If you take in their arguments and listen and contemplate them, you're no better than the Nazi. Nazis will not be tolerated longer than it takes to make it known they are not, and will never be, welcome.
