Nah dude, if you tolerate fascists in any space, they use that space to recruit and try to transform the space for their needs. I've heard this from renfaire folks, who had to drive the fascists out of the space to keep it sane. I've heard about this happening in work places too. You gotta organize with non-fascists and drive the fascists out of the space by being vocally and actively supportive of groups they despise.

I agree with this. If you've ever worked with someone that was awesome to work with and the whole space was left empty when they moved to another company, than you've experienced the opposite of a nazi. One toxic, shitty dude can make the whole place go down the toilet. It really only takes one to change a place.

Want to know what the single biggest recruiting tool Nazis use, that nobody seems to ever talk about? Prison.

I've seen normal, non-bigoted people end up getting busted for a minor drug charge or something stupid, then they go to prison, get their heads filled with racist crap, and then come out sieg-heiling Nazis.

Prison is basically a Nazi-making factory at this point, so why does nobody ever talk about this?
