No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
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.
Well, I am a gray haired Gen X-er and fuck conservative fearmongering evil exploitative shit. The radical left youths warm my heart.
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?
No, but if the police can't do enough, I install an alarm and defend my personal space. I don't want to arrest all potential thieves beforehand because they have "thievous" opinions. I don't want to argue online, anyway: your nested comment (with a parent that has gone down the list due to pagination) made me found a bug in a Lemmy client that I'm developing so I am really grateful to you 😂 Thanks 🙏
I have no thanks for you. But I'm not surprised there are mistakes in your work as well as your logic
Admitting one's own mistake is a sign of intelligence.
Making too many is an indication of its absence
You're sure you know it all and have an answer for everything. Good for you, go ahead like this in life and you will succeed.
It's called critical thinking, try it sometime!
Critical thinking implies the ability to understand other people's point of view, learn from your own and other's mistakes, discern what if good and what is bad in the other person's reasoning and in one's own. Not believing like a bigot that since it's written in the Bible or in any other book it is a form of revealed truth.
Are you criticizing your own side now?
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.
If they actively hurt other people, then they should obviously be punished. How does my comment imply otherwise?
Their core belief is that they are better and should have autonomy over other people, how does that NOT turn violent?
Again, if they do turn violent, then you can punish them. What's hard to understand about that?
So wait til they start killing people openly before we identify their ideology as dangerous?
We're done here and you're blocked. Either you have no place in this conversation or you're being intentionally obtuse.
You illustrate my point. Whether or not an ideology is dangerous is besides the point.
That's how the left exercises "tolerance" towards those of opposing views. Again, you illustrate my point.
Do you wait for a pedo to rape a child before doing something? NO! Someone is clearly fascist/pedo/nazi/racist/sexist/bigot they need to gtfo.
Pedophilia is a mental illness that one doesn't choose to have. Pedophiles who haven't molested a child deserve mental help, not to be ostracized.
There's a difference between thinking of something and doing it. Many leftists dream of punching conservatives in the face but only a few of them actually do. The ones who refrained do not rate punishment from the government over a thoughtcrime.
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).
