ah yes the eternal debate on tolerance of evil.

[-] RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

I think you can "love" someone without tolerating their nonsense. It's all about being willing to find a consensual way of interacting. Theoretically it may be impossible, but we can still try.

[-] greenskye@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Ironically this is the whole 'love the sinner, not the sin' bit that Christians love to use to excuse their own intolerance.

[-] RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I think a lot of modern Christians are unaware of how masochistic and sadistic they really are. They get so hung up on the idea that they have a "get out of jail free" card that it justifies all the rest of their behavior, even when that behavior is explicitly called out in their manual lol

I have an ex who cheated on me. I'm not holding on to anger about it, I do honestly hope they've found happiness, but I want nothing to do with them again and if they showed up at my door I would tell them to leave.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the paradox of tolerance.

My favorite solution that I've heard, is to treat tolerance not as a moral imperative, but rather as a social contract.
Anyone who is tolerant will have tolerance extended to them. Those who are intolerant, on the other hand, can fuck right off.

[-] LwL@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, I've never really seen the paradox as a paradox for that reason. The question, rather, should be what precisely we require from the social contract. The old question of "where is the line at which point my freedom impacts your freedom". But no matter where that line is, it means that if someone spews hate, you're allowed to respond in kind

(Morally, that is. If it's covered by law then legally it should be handled through the justice system and responding in kind would fall under vigilante justice)

They did that in east europe (fucking off), founded ISIS, flooded an area with drugs and overran it.

[-] Drewelite@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah the Internet has insulated people from how a society works. They can "fuck off"... to where? Somewhere they'll still vote and encourage people to follow their example? Somewhere without people telling them they're wrong where they can become more and more extreme?

It's like prison. Yeah let's take all the people that have a proclivity for crime and put them together. Then teach them to obey the system by using it to punish and traumatize them. After all, they deserve it. They'll realize that, any day now.

[-] Drewelite@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

The way I practice it is that everyone gets a basic level of tolerance. Free speech, basic human rights, and a low level of respect and decency. But until you treat others the same there will be a social friction wherever you go and eventually a hard line. Like, no, we don't want you in here if you're just going to be an asshole everyday. Come back in a week and we'll see if you've learned some self-control.

[-] Manmoth@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Secularly everything has to be a social contract because there is no moral authority.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Well, for your own moral behaviour, you'd be the authority...

[-] Manmoth@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

You're saying the same thing.

[-] zloubida@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

To love someone is sometimes to say them that their actions are evil.

Someone just told me yesterday Mark hamil voices skeleton in the new he-man and i really have to watch it now. I need his take on "nyaaa haha"

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

He was surprisingly good in The Fall of the House of Usher.

I really enjoyed him in that! Probably my favorite character.

[-] Lolman228@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Really? Well this not bad either. Didn't he say he was gonna stop voicing joker? I hope thats not true cuz for me hamil is the joker

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He and Kevin Conroy retired the voices of Bats and Joker but came back several times. They retired after Arkham Asylum and came back for Arkham Knight (Origin had different VAs), and they both came back for Killing Joke as well, and their final act together was the Crisis trilogy. The last part is expected to release this year, so we have one last adventure with Kevin's Batman.

After Kevin's death I think the retirement may stick for Hamill. He's said before that he wouldn't do Joker without Conroy.

there's a new he man? lolll

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 year ago

Skeletor was the victim. He was the rightful heir.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

This comment made me realize how little I know about the He-man extended universe.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

All monarchies are illegitimate, the warring nobles will not spared from the guillotine just because they look good in a leather loincloth and someone gave them a magic sword

Work your fingers to the bone what do you get

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago
[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Boney fingers. Boney fingers

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

I, uh… I don't get it 😅

In my defense my native language isn't English and I've got insomnia up the wazoo, so my brain is soup

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

This did nothing to alleviate my confusion and I'm completely fine with that, because 🎶I owe my soul to the company store 🎵

Rhyming is for conformists

I don't want Christians to love me. I think it's sexual harassment.

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

"There's no hate like Christian love"

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I think i prefer food poisoning and broken bones to christian 'love', which often induces broken bones.
