These a$$hats are celebrating and justifying state sponsored terrorism, and many of you continue to give legitimacy to their fascism by engaging them.
Engaging with someone doesn't give them legitimacy. Indeed, in a democratic society the only way to defeat ideas you detest is to engage with them.
By quoting and responding to fascist discourse you force me to read these hateful words.
No one ever defeated fascism by shutting their eyes to it. You might dislike reading their words, but it's much harder to fight ideas you detest if you don't understand them in their particulars. You're never going to change the minds of the folks that you detest, but you're not going to be effective at convincing people who aren't fascist of the dangers and extremes of their belief system if you don't understand them in their particulars and how they are currently being expressed and promulgated.
