So what would the difference be between the two again and why should we trust "our" state sponsored troll farms? Frankly that logic is like suggesting we need to molest our kids at home to protect them from being molested by teachers and clergy.
That's if you believe there is nothing that clearly distiguish intrinsically antidemocratic and divisive ideas from otherwise. I believe there is a huge space of ideas that are clearly worth defending at all cost without ever being partisan.
I understand your metaphor but I think it's closer to the paradox of intolerance, you generally escape it only by having to be intolerant to the most intolerant.
