I consider my self a lefty, but I think it's important to consider all points of view, especially when I disagree with them.

That is good, but what value do they bring?

You can consider the nazi point of view (do you really need to though?) without defending nazis' right to spew their bullshit.

And let's face it, even if lemmy was 100% leftists, the rest of the world is fascist as fuck so it'll never be an echo chamber.

The only speech I don't defend is hate speech. Everything else must be fair game, no matter how much I personally don't like it or how much I disagree.

Fascism implies hate speech, and that's what the "right" is all about in most countries right now.

I think that's a broad brush to paint with and that the majority of people identifying with right wing politics are in reality rather moderate.

You could argue that the moderate right enable the extreme right but that's a different debate.
