i disagree

and in the #USA, after the #CivilRightAct, so did #US #law:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_a

...until #MAGA chipped away at it

😡

there is #tolerance

or there is #intolerance

there is no other choice

period

and the choice is obvious

and there is never, ever the possibility to respect intolerance in any way shape or form whatsoever

and hammering at that until you're left with a sword, then hacking away with that sword, is the only moral approach

I’m absolutely through placating to others that are enabling and tolerating Nazis.

The paradox of tolerance is real and giving these racists another inch will only degrade society and endanger the most vulnerable.

Fuck your apathy, fuck your social media fomo, fuck tolerating people that would rather you be dead.

If not tolerating Nazis is the line you won’t cross then get the fuck out of my timeline.

A quotation from Addison

There is nothing in which Men more deceive themselves than in what the World calls Zeal. There are so many Passions which hide themselves under it, and so many Mischiefs arising from it, that some have gone so far as to say it would have been for the Benefit of Mankind if it had never been reckoned in the Catalogue of Virtues. It is certain, where it is once Laudable and Prudential, it is an hundred times Criminal and Erroneous; nor can it be otherwise, if we consider that it operates with equal Violence in all Religions, however opposite they may be to one another, and in all the Subdivisions of each Religion in particular.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-10-02), The Spectator, No. 185

The paradox of #tolerance: #intolerance is invulnerable to it. Thus, as the age-old adage goes: fire must be fought with fire. Intolerance must be fought likewise, not with tolerance but with a rebuke that leaves no room for interpretation: “this far, and no further.”

Which does not mean that we should all simply turn a blind eye to the emotions and feelings that lead to their intolerance, by the way. Doing so would only entrench their feelings of being alone, of being “wronged”.
