Life's for too short to force people to do this, and ideally we should make it as feasible as possible for as many people as possible to never have to do this.

This is a crazy notion. If I have to like everybody to work with them, we can't have a civilization because I don't like most people.
I like some people. Everybody else I work with if they're willing to work with me. Saying that we all have to agree with each other is basically giving up on the political project entirely, and going back to strongman rulers who organize by demanding conformity. Very relevant in these times.

No, we should make it impossible to avoid so people can't sneak into adulthood without being properly socialized.

Not quite your fault, but the framing of "people you don't agree with" juxtaposed with the implicit statement of "people who promote hate" (or similar) doesn't make for a clear discussion. To be clear, those two types are well separated. If someone is of the latter type, really truly they are, then they can be removed without further ado (and I think GP would agree). I think the situations that are less clear cut will make people in good faith fight.
