A.R. Moxon, Verified Duck š¦People who say of Nazis āthe way you deal with bad ideas is by defeating them in the marketplace of ideasā are offering assumptions that a) Nazi ideas have not already been defeated on the merits, and are still valid and worthy to consider; b) Nazis will promote their ideas in bloodless debate.

@JuliusGoat @oblomov the fact itself that some people think ideas are shared in a āmarketplaceā is disgusting enough
arceuthobium@dottorblaster @JuliusGoat @oblomov marketplaces have mechanisms for removing spoiled milk from the shelf.
@theothersimo @JuliusGoat @oblomov just cause people are not too dumb to buy spoiled milk. Unfortunately that appears not to be true for rotten ideas.
