When you debate the bigots in the "Free Market of Ideas", you basically say that these bigoted ideas are "Just as valid as any other"
This is why you don't see Temu shit on Target shelves, but in shady grey market apps.
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.

This is such a braindead take. Humanity is networked. You can cut a link, but you can't disconnect someone from yourself unless you yeet them out of existence
Drive them into bigot echo chambers and someone has to deal with them thinking everyone is secretly as bigoted as them
Respond in kind - if they're rational, defeat them with reason. If they're a dumbfuck, quote then and mock how stupid their words are. If they're a troll, counter troll them
And when they feel bad for saying bad things, offer an olive branch. Highlight the path back to being a respectable person
You don't need to be equipped to do it all - I'm personally good at counter trolling and reaching out to those already verbally beaten down
We all have to live with these people - we all have a have a responsibility to do our part. Give them the social rejection they deserve when they say unacceptable things - people who don't learn from logic learn emotionally, so make them feel bad. It's ok to attack those attacking others unfairly - just always leave a path back to acceptance
Kill them or rehabilitate them - those are the only options that fix the problem
In order for any leftist movement to be successful it would need broad support.
So it's hilarious that leftists spend all of their time demonizing anyone that's not in their tiny little club. Like are there any leftists self aware enough to understand that they're in a movement that's doomed to failure unless they're able to have a conversation with someone that's not already in their movement? Or will it forever be a club for academics who just sit around and complain about how stupid the working class is for not appreciating their genius dialectics or whatever?
