  Nazis and other supremists are the reason intolerance needs to exist.

    The social contract of tolerance doesn’t extend to those who are intolerant. They are outside the protection of Tolerant Society’s protection, and the Tolerant are free (and, in fact, strongly encouraged) not to tolerate them, because they aren’t covered.

      This guy obviously didn’t get that memo

        I really love that story. He is a better person than me. I really wish I still had hope for my fellow man like he does, but trump’s second election fucking broke me. People who I used to think were smart and empathetic were jumping on the “fuck your feelings” bandwagon.

        I’ve lost hope. I’ve lost love. I only have anger anymore.

        I’d argue he isn’t tolerating white supremacy, he’s found a good way to counteract it. If he tolerated it he wouldn’t do anything.

        I don’t know that he didn’t get it. He just hadn’t a different method of fighting back. Not everyone is going to be able to go around knocking them out. The vast majority of people won’t in fact. There are still other tools they can use to stop the spread, or, in rare cases, reverse it. You have to be careful to not legitimize it though if you’re doing something like that.

        He is an outlier. Simply impossible for me and most of other people to be so selfless, social, patient and dedicated.

      Reminds me of this old story:

        Definitely one of my favorites, and illustrates the point effectively.

      That view is fine and dandy with an an omniscient lens of who’s the reactionary intolerant and who is the originator of intolerance.

        Group A: “I am intolerant of (group) because they need to go back to their own country and not live in mine.”

        Group B: “I am intolerant of (group) because they don’t tolerate other ethnicities.”

        This guy: “but who was intolerant first?”

      This perspective only works if there’s an ambient view of who’s a reactionary intolerant versus an originating intolerant.

        Do the Nazis ever claim they are intolerant of minorities because the minorities were intolerant to them?

  They are becoming so by way of people not doing anything about it, and literally voting them into power.
