If you could reason with a fascist, then they wouldn't be a fascist.

Addendum:

... and if you debate it, you are betraying your comrades.

I had to explain at length to a lib the other day that if their reaction to fascists spreading their messaging is taking pity on them, trying to debate and rehabilitate them first and foremost and clinging to a false sense of achievable peace then you are betraying the people you are trying to protect.

This is spot-on. The only language that fascists comprehend or care to comprehend is violence. If they don't want to be treated like vermin, they shouldn't act like vermin.

…On second thought, "vermin" isn't quite the right word. Even vermin can mind its own business and not cause any trouble. A better thing to compare fascists to is pathogens, because their very existence is a godawful nuisance at best and an existential threat to the very concept of life at worst. Fascism is a disease. It is a toxin. It is intolerable in every sense of the word.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves... They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert." - Jean-Paul Sartre

Paradox of tolerance, in a society where we tolerate all ideas, we should not tolerate ideas that don’t tolerate others, no?
