The ideologues are already very well hardened. White supremacy isn’t a new ideology.

  So we make more laws and rules which we hope we can actually enforce and hope the baddies dissipate into the ether? Chase them from reddit to 4-chan to 8-chan then have cloudflare ban 8-chan and proclaim "mission accomplished!"? I'm just saying I think the effective way to fix this is by breaking the echo chamber. With argument and knowledge and guidance and wit and mockery and whatever we have. Young males of this primate species need guidance and leadership and direction. They need answers. They are a pack dog really. Without someone there personally spanking them verbally when they get out line they apparently devolve into feral internet packs. But nobody (understandably) wants to deal with them nor put up with their abuse and trash, so they coagulate into places they can find direction and meaning. That is what I think needs to be addressed. Not trying to stamp out places, which I doubt will work long term. Nor most especially encouraging them to self filter into these packs.

  Furthermore, leaving it out in the open allows it to spread. There's good evidence that "de-platforming" is highly effective at preventing the spread of hate.
