Then why have any discourse at all.

There's no need for two-sided discourse on Nazism. It's a settled subject.

Well, at the rockbottom, the only function is to shame and ostracize hateful conservatives who threaten the safety and acceptance of said community.

Hopefully it is much more than that, but even that is enough to be worthwhile.

So it’s about winning a propaganda war, not attempts at mutual understanding for you?

It is about protecting innocent people from hateful bigots, I am sorry if you can't understand the threat they pose, but I understand it very clearly.

There can be no basis for mutual understanding with people that define their politics upon hurting other groups of people.

I look forward to having intellectual conversations with conservatives after they become too afraid and ashamed to dare to speak their hate out loud in public spaces and they go back to pretending to not have batshit crazy hateful views..

The conditions for an intellectual discussion I define quite reasonably as you are not actively espousing beliefs and realword policies that preclude the existence of safe spaces for vulnerable groups like trans kids, black people, muslims, women, immigrants of any legality or origin, and the poor in general.
