The perfect golden middle ground where everyone get along if only you speak nicely enough to everyone long enough is a pretty fantasy.

But it's just that.

That isn't to say don't try to reach an understanding, or don't try to resolve issues peacefully. We absolutely should. But the grim reality of life is that some people will not be reasoned with. Some people's hearts have hardened, and attempting to reach out to them is futile.

Nazis for example? History shows us only one thing works with people who choose that ideology.

When someone speaks like them, when someone encourages the genocide of a people, you don't use the kid gloves. You use the bat.

Yes. Like I have brought up on many occasions including this thread, people are often eager to take the strict route with unruly kids or voicing criticism if say someone's cooking, singing or what have you is faulty.

Yet bigotry from an adult? Need to hold their hand and tell them "Bigotry is wrong, mkay, but it is your right to feel that way still.".
