This is why punching Nazis. This is why no-platforming Nazis. This is why we don't treat fascism as simply another point of view to compete in the marketplace of ideas. This is why we shouldn't tolerate intolerance, be it those who burn black churches in Louisiana, those who murder Muslims in mosques, those who plow cars through crowds with a particular aim towards women, or those who shoot up synagogues.

I know I'm far more likely to die in a school shooting than in a synagogue shooting but it nevertheless goes to the bone, you know?

I'm scared that - if we vote badly in October - we may be subject to a regime that will joyously demand that we learn to want and beg for such crimes against humanity as those camps.

And "First past the post" makes it so damned easy to vote badly. It always has.

And yet my only faint hope is that FPTP will mean that Andrew "racism-lite" Scheer and Maxime "it's not a dog-whistle if humans can hear it" Bernier will split the vote.

While moving the Overton window, but then, we can't have everything.
