White nationalists are idiots; Facebook still shouldn't be banning them

White nationalists are misguided idiots. We’ve already seen from historical example what they can do to a country if they ever gain power. But Facebook is still wrong to announce that from next week, it will “prevent praise, support and representation of white nationalism and separatism.”

Yes, Facebook is a private platform that has the right to restrict whatever content it wants. And yes, on paper, white nationalism is a pretty stupid ideology rooted in racism, historic myths, and at least in Europe, excessive alcohol consumption.
