Western politicians do that all the time and we live in a democracy. You don't know the meaning of the word fascism, and you are conflicting fascism with national-socialism, two ideologies that are not mutually exclusive
If I claim pink unicorns exist manage to convince tons of people they do, then win local elections, then a national election, then demand that no one offend that claim, my fans will act on my word.
Like when Hilter convinced Germans that they were the master race and that Jews were the problem.
Any claim that spreads without a counter can lead to very bad things. You can only reduce the harm, and yes you still have to allow the claim to be made. But leaving the claim to it's own devices is poison.
Just stumbled across this, this is why you challenge claims.

A claim can only cause harm if it's based on hate and prejudice. An idiotic claim based on zero evidence that doesn't hate anyone isn't harmful, just stupid.
Hello McFly, the point even atheists miss is YES, there is no god. But even with that, it is still a crap shoot. Creating clubs in all that is still short term. Labels dont make any human infinite. Labels are marketing terms that benefit the the club.
There is not one friend or foe that will not die. There is no poor person or rich person that will live forever. Our clubs are local, or existence is universal. All we have is us.
