    • Lovely concept, but that’s not how it works. If we imprison Nazis for their opinion being “against the state” it’s a short way from imprisoning communists. Afterall, communists killed more people than fascists, so we should also arrest them. Starting to see how this in the Nazis interest?

      Them we get to the debate to be about “violent” immigrants or “vile” [insert enemy nationality]. Why should immigrants and enemies get better treatment than our own people? So they go as well.

      Don’t be stupid: Don’t normalize prosecuting political opponents. All it takes then is for them to get 1(one) election and the oppression will simply change to you. And then it’s game over.

      Instead build a societal agreement that political prosecution and other fascist methods are bad. So that when the fascists try to employ them, the population won’t simply play along.
