You can’t humiliate someone who has no shame. And with their firehose of falsehoods, you’ll only expose a small portion of their lies by the time they’ve already moved on. Nothing productive comes from waging a war of words with people who don’t believe in the words that come out of their own mouth.

The point isn’t to make them feel humiliation, nor convert them. It’s to make an example of them. This is also why people should physically assault any Nazis they see in public. Make being openly fascist an embarrassing & dangerous lifestyle.

  Do you think about the things you say before you say them?

    If you’re having trouble following it, just ask for clarification. You’re not in a position to be an ass when you’re confused.
    
    It’s not to convert the fascist. It’s to make them a joke in front of everyone else, and fuck their recruitment.
    
    There’s actually a really interesting and funny example in history. The Superman radio broadcast from back before television started featuring stories about Superman fighting the KKK, and one of the writers had infiltrated the group to get real insider info, and then make fun of it on the show. It was a massive embarrassment for the clan, and really fucked up their operations, especially recruitment.
