I completely disagree.

I don't believe any sect of the internet deserves to be nuked. Sure, I don't agree with a lot of them (Take for example, Stormfront), but that's kind of the thing behind the ideology of "Free Speech"; it also applies to things I find distasteful and things that i disagree with.

I just don't think it's in the best interest of any web space of discussion to stifle an opinion of any kind. It creates a situation where the site takes a stance on things, and eventually you end up with an echo chamber of dull discussion.

Imagine if Facebook suddenly started to ban/censor people that mentioned (for the sake of this discussion) anything pro left. Eventually, you would end up with an echo chamber of right wing political discussion, which really makes any actual discussion (ie: Not just dank memes gargled up from the depths of the internet) quite dull.
