Comment on Fox show hosts said Taylor Swift "should be conservative" given her background, because to them it's an identity.

To them politics is not about ideas, or policies, or good governance. It’s all about identity.

Oh my god, I am stunned by the hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness here. So they think the right is obsessed with identity? Get the fuck out of here. I’ve seen the contempt the left has for any conservative minority. They feel entitled to black or female votes.

The “left identity” is wanting everyone to have healthcare and education to struggle less. The “right identity” is quite loudly screaming about hurting the people they don’t like.

“The paradox of tolerance states that if a society’s practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them.”

  There is no paradox. Tolerance is a social contract which includes the tolerant. If someone is intolerant, they break the contract and are therefore not included in it.

    If you tolerate intolerance, intolerance will rule. It’s literally a paradox by definition.

    If you equivocate about the meaning of tolerance you can justify some bad things.

Not entitled, just surprised when people vote for anyone who openly hates them and wants to take away their rights.

  When a lot of people that like that certain people are getting hurt and also don’t believe they won’t become the targets later.
