Conservative forums are talking about rounding up immigrants, letting women die in clinics and stripping people of their rights and dismantling Democracy.
Here on the "left" lemmy, we're arguing whether calling out hypocrites is a step too far we've got to be respectful after all!
This is why the left sucks as organising and actually voting for change in unison. A simple thing as outing assholes starts a 10h discussion, meanwhile on the right they are building cages....
Oh I'm sorry, not cages, enclosures without exists, we don't want to offend people identifying as cages!
"If a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance"
So yeah, call these intolerant hypocritical assholes out!
That's the paradox of intolerance though.
If you don't tolerate intolerance, you are intolerant.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
The paradox of tolerance is poorly named. Tolerance is part of the social contract and one that breaks the contract is no longer protected by it. The intolerant are excusing themselves from the contract and the rest of us can and should exclude them from the society they harmed.
