I don't want them dead. I want them to become decent human beings.
You are entirely wrong... save for one thing: I don't want to debate them, because there is nothing to debate. There is no debate to be had with Holocaust deniers, Confederate revisionists or genocide supporters. There is no debate to be had with people who think darker skin makes you "subhuman", that "Hitler did nothing wrong", or that "slavery was actually good". There is nothing to debate with someone who believes that "the International Jewry is conspiring against the white male" or that LGBT rights are the doom of Western civilization. None of those positions is even remotely legitimate or worthy of the pretense of legitimacy that a debate would grant them. Those ideas only deserve one thing: to be permanently suppressed. They have no place in humanity. And those who believe those ideas need to change or face exclusion.
See what I mean? You hate the,, it's not hard to tell. You think that they're subhuman, and don't deserve to have the rights everyone else does. Sure, you may not outright say that you want them dead, that they need to be suppressed forever, and if they don't change their ideas then they have no place in this world. You can sugarcoat it all you want, but we both know that you wouldn't mind killing them all.
