Fascists want debate because they want their ideas normalised. By "debating" them, you put their ideas on a level playing field with your own. If you agree to the debate, the fascist has already gotten what they want. The actual debate itself is irrelevant, they just want legitimacy and attention directed at their toxic ideas.

Especially don't debate them in a sphere where they control the mute button, they have the majority of audience, and their voice is louder than yours. That's not a debate, that's you being a prop to be scolded and laughed at.

Said it before, will say it again...

Don't argue with someone John Brown would simply shoot.

"Nice argument, unfortunately-" whips out a gun and shoots the fascist in the face

Still, trying to debate a fascist tends to be a fruitless endeavor (they want their ideas at least somewhat legitimized).
