Such ideas might want to show up again, yes, maybe later, maybe earlier. But we must not reserve the the space, time and opportunity for them to do so - by not fighting against their symptoms but even protecting their manifestation. I see too often that what is of hostile nature is getting tolerated in the name of freedom or "learning from it", but nothing gets learned for sure, only the hostile idea is allowed to grow and gain influence, and everybody just stands and watches it and says "It's okay, that is our freedom".

The Nazis were not made to go away from learning from them, but by killing them. Religious fanatism throughout Europe was not made to go away by learning from it, but from opposing, superior education that then started to confront it head on. Where an evil idea is given free space in the name of tolerance or freedom, we do not see people learning from it how to avoid it, but we see the fanatism growing in influence and size again.

It's like with weed in the garden. You do not allow it some refugium, and you do not just observe how it is doing, but you cut it off, you rip it out by the roots, and you eventually use poison to prevent it from coming back soon. It comes back, yes - but later.

The fight against what is bad, or "evil", is never producing a final result. It buys time - whether or not you buy more or less time, and need to fight sooner or later in the future again, is up to your action in the present. We simply live in a dualistic world concept of our minds, we cannot imagine the world to be different. Everything rising already holds the reason of its own fall inside of it. This ensures that there is movement and change and hopefully: developement. Everything seems to run in cycles. We can only try to influence the length of time between the beginning and the ending of something, and we want to make the time between both very long if it is somethign good, and we want to make the time between both very short if it is about something bad. But in the end, neither the good nor the bad will ever last forever.

So lets take a deep breath and mobilise all our powers to make sure the darkness of mind will not last one generation longer than absolutely necessary. Switch on the searchlights and push dark ideas into the focus of our spotlights to expose them as what they are and see them in full light and unhidden detail - no matter how much they complain about not being given the respect that they claim for themselves. What relgious ideas call respect, in fact is just religion's denial of checking itself.
