That would be awful? Killing people is almost always bad for moral and practical reasons?
If you decided you wanted to try to fix the problem, presumably you'd start with wider-ranging and less-damaging interventions, like putting some restrictions on _publishing_ such opinions. That could shift opinion without killing anyone. I'm not sure if the potential benefit to society outweighs the potential for abuse (if whoever decides which views are restricted abuses their power), which is why I'm considering it but not sure if it would be a good idea or not.
