While to some extent, guarding against purity spiral is necessary, some of your proposals leave us back, ultimately, in the position we find ourselves. To truly satisfy what you describe, I would think pure sepratism would be necessary in the end, with a "I don't tread on you, you don't tread on me" kind of attitude between you and said Zionists, homosexuals, etc, except at a State level. Certainly that would be most preferable to satisfy the empathetic drive, but practically speaking I think it would just be a retreat and put anyone trying to save, or rebirth, the West in a position of weakness once again and simply allow them to be carved up once more in century's or several decades' time.

There is a reason for purity spiral and it is bore out of a desire to shore up points of weakness. Eventually you must declare the product safe, however. But if you consistently allow even small things, well, that's eventually how you get the MIGApedes. I don't think there's really a better, more textbook example. Malice is the wrong approach to take, I agree, but that doesn't mean those things falling outside of the window of acceptibility in such fundemental fashion should be tolerated within confines of said window, so to speak.
