Like was it a meaningful debate or a flat out flame war? And what was the main theme you were arguing over?

I stated that in a democracy fascist, racist, neo-nazi political parties should not have the right to form, campaign or run for government because - other than the obvious reasons - they are inherently undemocratic. I also added that this is not a paradox of democracy and that claiming otherwise is apologist bullcrap trying to justify fascism, racism or other institutional, totalitarian forms of oppression.

I got death threats.

Edit: maybe this doesn't apply here since there was no arguing really? 🤔

    That's just making a statement and refusing any challenge to it. Debate means searching for the truth and acknowledging you might be wrong. Now you're just turning it into a personal attack toward anyone who disagrees with you. It's intellectually dishonest and in bad faith.
