I just think it's more nuanced than that. Shunning people as soon as they start believing something we find gross doesn't actually help anything. It just only allows them to socialize with other people like them and reinforces the bad belief.

I have heard the phrase in the US, as well. I just went with the claim for my own purposes.

I guess, to me, there’s some things that are outside the lines. In the case of Nazis, I’d be worried for my physical security as a Jew. I’m not accusing Platner of being a Nazi to be clear, just speaking generally.
