that's how extremists are made. DO NOT FOLLOW THIS ADVICE. everyone deserves to be informed. i've done it to a few people, and they hace at least slightly changed how they view a certain topic.
a few extremists in a smaller echo chamber is not only preferable, but also far easier for authorities to ultimately handle.
Treating these idiots like the nut jobs they are at worst creates another Jonestown.
"Discussion and understanding" meanwhile creates attempted coups and riots because they suddenly think their view is "normalized". I know which one i prefer to see in the news.
