    Check out the concept of the tolerance paradox, it might shift your point of view a bit. Think there’s a copy pasta of a nazi bar that’s in a similar context

      I’m familiar with both, and the nazi bar equivalency is a false parallell.

      The antidote to anti-establishment movements in democracies (which AFD & their related parties across Europe are at this point) is strengthening public trust and legitimacy, not creating the tools to dismantle it.

        That’s like saying that since crime is mostly a symptom of a systemic issue, we shouldn’t prosecute it.

          No, it’s like saying the police shouldn’t fight crime by breaking the law, because it undermines trust in the legal system.

          For a prime example of that in action, see the US.
