The Nazi bar analogy says nothing about agreement. Just that failing to remove Nazis from your bar is a great way to flood your bar with Nazis, because once they know its safe for them to Nazi it up in your establishment, they'll tell their friends about you.

If you don't proactively remove the Nazis, you're creating a Nazi safe space, whether you agree with them or not.

i am familiar with the analogy, but i think it would obviously be worse if they agree with what they're platforming instead of just being kind of half-baked morons who don't have good political positions or cynically platforming it because it makes them money. one can, in effect, be remedied by showing them social or financial retribution, but the other would be a manifestation of a much more serious social problem that cannot be immediately dealt with
