Fascism isn’t a “diversity of opinion.” It’s a strategy to seize and maintain power by using lies and propaganda to create irrational fears, generally about people from already marginalized groups. That kind of “opinion” has no place in a healthy republic.
You reminded me of this https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/germanys-laws-antisemitic-hate-speech-nazi-propaganda-holocaust-denial/
Germany’s Laws on Hate Speech, Nazi Propaganda & Holocaust Denial:
A troubled history is alive in Germany — both in a resurgence of far-right ideology and in changes to the laws designed to combat that extremism.
There's a massive and incredible "diversity of opinion" among people who can still agree on basic human rights. Some opinions are just plain bad.
Or the world
