judge you for who you talk with, instead of for what you say.

So if someone had a happy conversation with a Nazi about the "degeneracy of the West" and "Judeo-bolshevism", you wouldn't judge them?

Of course we would judge them, because they're happily talking to a Nazi. How can you exchange the time of day with someone who would happily sit there and murder thousands of innocent people in cold blood?

"Hello yes my job is gas chamber operator"

"oh, ok. Did you see the ball game?"

^ literally everyone who's saying it's fine to work with Nazis. Is it really so difficult to see what's wrong with that scene?

You realise that to deradicalise someone you actually have to speak to them, right? I believe this is what the guy you are talking to is referring to. Deradicalisation is something both governments and leftists do when someone goes to the far right. The answer isn't just screaming, ignoring, and killing people all the time. Have you never heard the term diversity of tactics?

I think the reason why it's a common belief that one should never "talk to nazis" because a lot of people would easily be convinced by them.

I.e., if a common person talks to a nazi and hear about their beliefs, they might at some point say "oh, these guys are right after all", and then you have more nazis.

however, i'm an intelligent person and can actually discern what is true and what is not based on my own abilities, and wouldn't be convinced into being a nazi just by talking to one. In fact, it would have the opposite effect and make the nazi a non-nazi, thus improving society.
