If this needs to be explained, then well... things are fucked up
/looks around/
Things are actually fucked up
Intolerance for intolerance has led to this. They just hide in their safe spaces spreading their hate unopposed.
Guess you wanted to say that lack of intolerance for intolerance has led to this. Even I remember this idiotic tactic of "do something bad --> pretend it was a joke" and it was fucking working. Still is. Hate per se is not what has made societies ugly
No the lack of tolerance allows it to grow. If they were able to do it in public where it’s called out then it wouldn’t grow.
Instead it exists in echo chambers that cannot be countered.
Okay... who are "they"?
Intolerant people.
calling it out is part of not tolerating it though. If they are always called out, they will begin to hide it.
Ten four, good buddy.
You know what? I'd have a scrap. Would you have a scrap?
Treat others as you want to be treated, let them enjoy their own hospitality.
Tolerance is a social contract in which people agree to not give each other shit over perceived differences. To be intolerant is to choose to opt out of that contract, in which case expecting to still enjoy its protections is fucking stupid. Which is to be expected from pedocons and their ilk, who are always acting in bad faith.
That's right. People must be treated according to how they treat others.
There's nothing more ridiculous and incongruent than a nazi beggin for the love and tolerance they deny to others.
As a Dane, I'd like to take this opportunity to encourage the pasty prick with the faux Viking shield to crawl back up the wrong hole his mother accidentally shat him out of while giving birth to the good twin.
This is gorgeous prose.
Thank you. Like Churchill, I'm a firm believer in the fine art of lovingly hand-crafted insults.
And slights, of course - but such delicate subtlety is wasted on Nazis. Then again, oxygen is wasted on Nazis, and they should really cease using any. To be fair to them, given their demonstrated cognitive capabilities, they're evidently already half-way there.
As a Brit, I salute your efforts in keeping the art of insult alive.
Unfortunately, sharp whit is wasted on these evolutionary deadends. The only thing fitting for them is being on the receiving end of "creative" activities that will make the writing hand tremble of the poor Swiss who is now compelled to add several new lines to the Geneva Convention.
That's incredibly flattering coming from the foremost modern practitioners of the mighty slight. Especially since I used to live and work in the UK - back when that was still possible, pre-Brexit - and indeed honed my craft on your fair isles.
Well, you know what the Canadian Colonies have to say about it: "It's never a war crime the first time". Or my personal addendum: "As per the Golden Rule, it's never a war crime when you do it to Nazis".
...Or fucking Russians. But I repeat myself.
I think I fall more in the free speech absolutist camp on this one. Look at the UK and how they made saying "Support Palestine Action" a terrorism charge.
I get that it's a group that does protests and sometimes vandalism but imagine in the US if saying "Support Antifa" got you terrorism charges
Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. You can call for the genocide of a minority group all you want. Still a hate crime, and you should face charges because you are a threat to the peace of a healthy society.
Or shot in the neck.
What really must be done is to bring forward serious discussion and not debate through memes
It's been done, got nowhere
Do you see how poorly our conversation is set up right now? We are talking below a meme hinting at something and not really bringing up any discussion
I don't disagree with you. This is a terrible method to conduct political discourse. But of all the times I have discussed things with right wingers, I have only ever left the conversation stupider, and more angry. They simply don't listen.
I'm not really hinting at anything, peaceful discourse has been attempted again and again with the right, they literally don't care and won't listen. It doesn't go anywhere.
I love how you frame this as being binary. No time for memes, Captain! We must ride at dawn!
Disregarding the rule of law (due process, guilty until proven innocent, ...) is also suicide for society. So maybe banning certain speech is actually a good idea.
We have a felon in charge and masked gunmen kidnapping people in the streets. The rule of law left a long time ago dude.
Society makes suicide illegal. Think about it for a second. It's almost like the law is the wrong tool for the job. As if just declaring things banned doesn't do shit.
Vigilantes beating up the presumed bad people is not a good tool.
Never said it was
feel free to speak your mind.
don't complain when you get treated like a piece of shit, when you act like a piece of shit.
