Fascist thought should be banned, and prominent proponents of fascism imprisoned as a deterrent
Fascism is a political order that crushes all forms of deviance and difference, and imprisons (if not murder) anyone who disagrees with its mandates

Argüman Needs A Serious Redesign/Rethink
I think the problem is less about the power user-general user divide, and more about the static-logical and dynamic-dialectical perspectives towards argumentation. "Small words" like "but" have so many uses, freezing those uses tends to extract us out of natural language and into formality.

If bad things happen, god is either not all powerful, doesn't love us, or doesn't exist
If our understanding of those "plans" is too superficial, it follows that thinking and talking about "his" "plans" and "having" "reasons" are also superficial. Probably god dont have any plan.

Consciousness is nothing more than a biological computer having enough time on its hands to contemplate its own existence.
The mind-body problem is solved, there is no problem: Dont skip drinking and eating for long, or you will have nomind. Or, consciousness is based on material relations (mechanism s too cognitive), yet those relations are morethan dynamic and complex. Batter ways to counter mechanists than metaphysik

Schools should be required to present creation as a theory alongside evolution, since neither can be proven superior over the other by science
Churches, mosques and other religious institutions should be required to present (and praise and preach:)) evolution, fossil record, deep time, relativity, etc.. since neither story is superior to the other.

Fallacy Of Slippery Slope
Consciousness is nothing more than a biological computer having enough time on its hands to contemplate its own existence.
This proof fetishism tastes like burned pumpkin. What proof do you need? We know a great deal about the emergent qualities of mind, and that it can only emerge from a body. Mind is nothing but a capacity of bodies. There are bodies, ideas strolling around, and some obsessed with boring dualities.

Please clarify our minds, give an end to our confusion! Tell us all the nice features of fascism. Until they attain complete power fascists are ok, only when they become nazis its a problem, is this it? And our democracy is strong enough to... eh, when it is not strong enough, e.g. outside the West?

There is no scientific evidence that GMO foods are harmful to humans.
Let's make an analogy. This argument is similar to climate denier arguments: "climate has always changed in history, it was never stable, so there's nothing wrong". As that misses the new "human factor" this argument here misses that difference between selective breeding and laboratory manipulation.

The goal ultimately is to make fascism socially unacceptable (without the need to legislate). But in the efforts to attain the goal, law has a role to play. The point is not to "punish ideas" as many seem to interpret. When some action is publicly suggested by a politic/religioz leader, not an idea
