Yes, that's the rational way. However, with today's SJW and Twitter mobs, you don't know what someone might dig up in order to make your life hard going forward.



Or if the pendulum will swing the other way, and the Mega-Nazis who will be in charge in the future will use bots to search twitter for SJW posts.

Just cuz you're in lock-step with the zietgiest now doesn't mean you will be in the future.

Mega Nazis, if they should come to exist, are going to seek to hunt people down whether or not anti-Nazis have done so first.

If you are concerned about Mega Nazis, hoping you can convince them to be tolerant Mega Nazis by the example of tolerant anti-Nazis is...not likely to be an effective approach.
