> Some people should never have power, like nazis.

That's exactly what I'm arguing against. That's just your opinion and you treat it like some universal axiom. Same way you treat 'Holocaust deniers' as some kind of monstrous apparitions. You may not agree, that's all.

It's people like you that inspire me to counteract this trend with full force.

It's not an axiom. It's a fundamental disagreement about how society should be and an understanding of what the world would be like if nazis have the power to change it to suit their vision.

What does that look like? What actual effects on the world do you try to make or support others making because I am opposed to fascism?

We may not agree, but we can't say it's a "fundamental disagreement" if there's so much people rooting for it.

> What does that look like?

1) Disagreeing with people online 2) Opening niche internet forums that are lax on moderation (except for illegal content such as child pornography and direct threats) 3) Investing in hosting/domain registrars/payment processors that don't deplatform because of political stance (e.g., Epik, SkySilk)

I've been doing 1) and 2) for some time now, but I want to do 3) as well. I think it will become very profitable during this decade.

It's OK that some things involve subjective judgment.
