Huxleywaswrite@lemmy.world 2 years agoI read his comments and judged him based on how he choose to present himself. I think thats a pretty fair way to make assumptions about a person, based on their words. I responded accordingly and advised him that if he didn’t feel he fit in that category he may want to reconsider how he identify his beliefs.
Also, learn about the tolerance paradox and you’ll understand why the left are currently so strongly against the right. Also, the left is making great gains in the US, the right is the side losing seats.

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!

Broken link man, no idea what you’re trying to share

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

Imgur still says it doesn’t exist, might be my app

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.

I thought the US Democratic party was “far right”?
Huxleywaswrite@lemmy.world 2 years 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 2 years 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.
Huxleywaswrite@lemmy.world 2 years ago
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
SuddenlyBlowGreen@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Notice how he’s only posting clips from made up media as his “arguments”, not anything remotely factual.
Huxleywaswrite@lemmy.world 2 years ago
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.

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.
Huxleywaswrite@lemmy.world 2 years ago
That’s a lot of words to say you want fascists in society.
DieguiTux8623@feddit.it 2 years ago
No,I don’t want them. But they are there, though…
Huxleywaswrite@lemmy.world 2 years ago
You let burglers into your house just because they’re in your yard?
xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org 2 years ago
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.
Huxleywaswrite@lemmy.world 2 years ago
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).
