I found this sign posted on a store's building when I was on my way home from a job interview. No, that isn't my hand in the image; I had to find an HD version on a Facebook page for a company.
The most libshit thing you can do is disregard the paradox of tolerance because being open to fascists seems more inclusive at face value when, in actuality, it isn’t at all.
Equating the discomfort that BIPOC, religious minorities, women, LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, the disabled, and neurodivergent people go through with a chud feeling uncomfortable simply because he got dunked on for his trash takes is just sleazy as fuck to me.
In essence, yes, you can not and should not kick someone out of a facility simply for harboring certain political views, but the need to put said political views on the same level as the discrimination that all the above categories go through makes this one of the most transparently performative attempts at inclusivity I've ever seen.
The best thing to have done was to just simply leave "ALL Political Parties" off the damn sheet.
I agree with this sentiment to be honest. I guess it was poor phrasing on my part because boldly expressing chuddy views and wearing hate symbols can be very exclusionary to all the other aforementioned groups and shouldn’t be tolerated, no matter how inclusive the place tries to be in theory. It was more just like, "As long as they're not causing a ruckus with their politics, then sure, they can shop wherever the fuck they want.”, but if this poster emphasizes being accepting of “all” politics, then the implication does seem like they’d be fine with a loser wearing a swastika shirt barging in, otherwise the context of welcoming all political views would be quite redundant to include.
I'm with you tbh. In theory, someone who just holds some beliefs that are never expressed or observable by outsiders is, by definition, nobody's problem. But explicitly allowing intolerant people to come in is just asking for trouble because we all know these people do not keep to themselves at all.
