It's not a very good litmus test to determine right and wrong because tolerance is subjective based on what you feel to be untouchable, inviolable topics. Those could be religion, gender ideology, sexual preference, free speech, right to bear arms, right to own property, right to bodily autonomy, right to associate, and so on, or some combination of these but likely not all of them. It varies with the individual, though most would agree on some of them. The paradox of intolerance should not be expanded to include too much, because it then becomes simply another tool for rhetoric. In the Bill of rights our constitution does a pretty good job describing which topics are off limits, I think.

Most of the time Paradox of intolerance is just an excuse to be a dick to people you disagree with, all while feeling good and justified about it.

No that was the tricolor variation that preceded this final design, and it actually did look like a Somalia flag. I think this one will be pretty well liked by pretty much everyone. The only people who won't like it will instinctively not like it because of the taint of wokeness as a motive to change it. Whatever. But at the end of the day, it was a trash flag and everyone will ultimately agree that it's better now.

As if people in here aren't "othering" conservatives, severing ties with friends and family and encouraging others to do the same. Creating an other is apolitical, a tool used by Leaders to motivate their base. Landlords, millionaires, cops, managers and so on are favorite "other" groups used by left wing politicians. ACAB, death to landlords, references to guillotines and so on are evidence of this.

Hmm, well I'm not sure I agree that there is a big conspiracy or campaign, but I understand the logic.

[-] Occamsrazer@lemdro.id 1 points 11 months ago

I guess that kind of makes sense, at least for how it's used in here.

Lol I don't care about the cracker part, it's more about the forced intern camps part.

You people are absolutely deranged.

With so much going on in the world beyond our control and maybe more importantly our increased access to news about those events, we need a way to process things that we can't influence, but that may impact us anyway. Stoicism can provide that in an increasingly secular society, where it used to be religion.

I guess maybe we are using the terms differently.
