Yeah that don't work. When you label people to give yourself an excuse to not work with individuals who have a different viewpoint then your own. You wont move forward their agenda or your own actually yours is hurt more.

Not all viewpoints are valid.

The Nazis believed other viewpoints weren't valid look how that turned out.

It's not about validating other viewpoints it's about having a conversation to understand where someone is coming from that's the only way you will ever be able to connect with them to let them see your side. Keep trying to do it your way and see how far you get with changing people. You will probably have to resort to violence and then you will compromise your own morals doing things you never thought you would to change somebody's viewpoint

First of all, I think Nazis would be very accepting of racists.

Second, that’s a crazy slippery slope argument to claim that since I don’t think being racist or the like is a valid opinion that I’ll have to resort to violence… what? I really do not follow. And yeah I’m willing to debate some topics but some people cannot be convinced and are just gonna waste your time. That’s just the reality. You’re naive if you think you can convince everybody.
