  The tolerance paradox applies to a purely theoretical situation, not to modern society where people have constitutional rights. All radicalisms are equally flawed and, personally, I prefer to deal with the “originals” rather than with spoiled youngsters who are pathetically trying to emulate the “tough” adults.

    That’s a lot of words to say you want fascists in society.

      No,I don’t want them. But they are there, though…

        You let burglers into your house just because they’re in your yard?

      I don’t necessarily want fascists to be in society, but they should have a right to be there as long as they’re not actively hurting others.

        Their ideology is based on hurting other people. How do you not get that? They cant exist peacefully.

        If you’re ok with them being here, don’t be mad when I lump you in with them.

    The issue with the tolerance paradox is it gives way to thuggery once those with the most power decide what their idea of "tolerance" will and will not actually tolerate. That's why we have a Bill of Rights. Call it intolerant, but name something that actually tolerates more (not just "progressive" or anarchist vlaues).

    That isn’t actually Popper. That is Marcuse.

    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Marcuse

    That crappy cartoon gets shared a lot but it does not actually represent Popper’s views.

    It is, however, A very accurate description of Marcuse’s views. It even looks like him!

      Nuts. I’m sorry. It works for me, though, so I don’t know what to do. Maybe it pasted wrong. Try this: https://i.imgur.com/j2LnmH3.png

  If the left wantsbto be intolerant of a given group, that's a fine, debatable position to have. It's intellectually dishonest to refer to such a position as "tolerant," though.

  the left is making great gains in the US, the right is the side losing seats.

  I thought the US Democratic party was “far right”?

  • Huxleywaswrite@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I don’t know if you’re trying to make a joke about something, but Republicans are far right, democrats are left of center.

    • xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’m referencing the mantra that gets repeated a lot by Lemmy leftists that both parties in the USA are far right and Republicans are just slightly more far right.

        Just slightly?

    Shocking that a multiple time Trump voter’s highest level of discourse is a South Park clip. I’d feel bad for your parents, but they’re probably just as dumb

      Notice how he’s only posting clips from made up media as his “arguments”, not anything remotely factual.

        I know there are no facts to back up any of his feelings, I didn’t expect him to have any better to contribute

      When you can't argue the point, attack the man.
