Only that doesn't move the needle on the underlying problem at all. After the civil rights movement in the US they busted up Klan rallies, made it more difficult to be openly discriminatory in the workplace and essential services, and made it more difficult for assholes to do their thing. None of that changed them, it just pushed then underground... Where they festered and grew in numbers for 50 years.

We either need forums to engage with these in the hope we can guide them to more enlightened perspectives or, more cynically, we need places we can reliably look for them if we develop the fortitude for more, radical solutions.
