Comment on Conservative Discussions
davesmith@feddit.uk 1 day agoThe paradox of intolerance: tolerating intolerance immediately results in an intolerant society.
There are various paradoxes and limitations inherent to a socially liberal society (not including the obvious issues of capitalism) that have been exploited by billionaires, fascists, strongmen, religious nuts and many others.

I very much agree.
But there are other ways to create incentives for avoiding criminal behaviour and corruption (which IMO is closely tied to intolerance - a modern circus if you will).
Things like full asset seizure, mandatory multi-decade live-in community service work as a junior custodian in a medical centre.
If say an oligarch like Mark Zuckerberg (who very likely enabled mass killings in Myanmar both due to lack of concern and “risk management”) had all his assets seized and was sent for 20 years to the Island of Bhasan Char to work all the lowest level janitor on the island, other oligarchs would understand that they need show a modicum of respect and understanding towards others.
