There’s a substantial difference between intolerance and oppression.

[-] comfy@lemmy.ml -1 points 6 days ago

What are the most important differences?

[-] RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Oppression implies that there is an oppressor with some sort of power or control over the other party.

Intolerance is being unwilling to accept something.

[-] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago

So are you suggesting fascists and fascist movements should not be restrained via group with power and control over them but people just not accepting them is fine?

[-] RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

No. I’m suggesting that just because a person is intolerant doesn’t mean that they’re oppressive.

[-] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

All oppression is intolerant, not all intolerance is oppressive.

Are you sure we can't just defeat them with our words? Maybe we will get more people on our side by putting forth strong arguments 🤡

The nazis were famously defeated using words and the marketplace of ideas.

Have you tried changing your avatar or interpretative dance?
The hardcore ruthless tactics of the brave American lib freedomfighters.

tolerance is a contract not a gift, you have to sign it first to receive the benefits.

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Everyone deserves exactly as much tolerance as they're willing to give to others. No more, no less. If someone is hateful to you, no point in wasting your time trying to be nice to them. "I'll be nice to the nazi maybe that'll change them" has never worked, not once.

The first statement implies that fascists are deserving of equal rights as everyone else. This don't the case, though, because what they want is the destruction of other people's rights.

Fascists don't play by the rules, because they don't think they apply to them or they are inconvenient. If they rules don't apply to you then they don't apply to you. Can't have it both ways.

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 4 points 6 days ago

Everyone should have the same rights and the same responsibilities. It should be anyones responsibility to not become a fascist. Fascists are not a different species that want evil and destruction. People can stop becoming fascists if the alternative is punishment

[-] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

And when they decide to not be a fascist anymore, they get their rights back. Easy as.

[-] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago

"play by the rules" is exactly what they do, until they get in power and get rid of them.

[-] ProvableGecko@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

Hopefully every liberal will remember people being disappeared off the streets in broad daylight by fascist thugs in ski masks next time an actual Nazi complains about their free speech being taken away, right? Right? No? They will be the first ones on the scene voraciously fellating the Nazi? ok.

[-] Achyu@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 6 days ago

Violence to stop violence seems ok, if it's in a situation where it would work.

Though, nowadays there are some who throw around the word fascist, maybe to muddle the waters or channel hate against people they dislike. I've seen some people claim that the first major socialist experiment was fascist under their Georgian leader. That seems to be misdirection.

[-] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Even the moronic horseshoe theory is mainstream on lemmy.world.
I don't even bother with those people.

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago
