Silver Tongue

riseofthecommonwoodpile:

one of the main problems with the idea that the best way to defeat fascism is to respectfully show why it’s wrong and let people see that it’s wrong or whatever is that you cannot win in a debate with a fascist. a fascist will win every debate you let them into, because they have absolutely no responsibility to tell the truth, and no reason to. you feel like you have a responsibility to not lie, but the fascist does not. no matter how witty or smart or well-informed you are, you have ethical principles, while the fascist has none, and the less principled party can do whatever they want while you have to operate under the rules of debate, which invariably means you will lose.
