  If real bigots were as eloquent with their words as Dukat, we might have a problem. Thankfully, none of them seemed to have that kind of charisma since Hitler killed himself.

    Eloquence isn’t the only measure of charisma. See: Trump.

      Destroy the Cardassian education system, and the populace will believe anything, even the eloquent words of a Vorta like Weekend at Keevan’s, controlled by Rom.

    No we wouldn’t because the solution to the paradox of tolerance is that you can’t be tolerant of intolerance. It’s a social contract, if one party breaks it, the contract is broken.

      It’s not a contract, because the parties involved didn’t all get a chance to agree to it before hand.

      If you want to use a contract as an analogy, you might say your offering someone the options of signing a new contract, or being being ostracized.

      The best way to eliminate bigotry, is with unearned compassion. It’s certainly more difficult. But it is the highest moral ideal.

    It’s a shame Dukat never got the recognition he deserved for the kindness he showed the Bajorans. Not even 1 statue, for shame.

    There's plenty, they're just not as big on world-conquering as Hitler (or Dukat). Just look at any megachurch.

    With the rising tide of hate crimes and white supremacist attacks on democratically elected reps, it’s obvious they don’t need to be eloquent.

    Just criminal.

    A smart racist is an oxymoron.

    • GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Dismissing them like this isn’t very smart either. There are plenty of smart racists, those who understand how to instrumentalize it to rally the angry mob around their own goals by sprinkling some xenophobia on top. Those who successfully push ultra capitalist legislation against the direct interests of their constituents, just because it hurts the brown people too.

    Was Hitler supposed to be charismatic?

    • Fogle@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      If you consider charisma as knowing what to say and when to say it to get people to agree with you then yeah kinda

  fight hate with love

  enslaves whole planet

  • Zorque@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Yes, but he loved that planet with all his heart. It tore him up inside to do all that torturing and murdering. Just a big ole' softy that Dukat.

      That’s why it’s soooo sad they didn’t build any statues of him :(

  I feel like the Internet is full of people who think they’re Kira but are in reality the useful idiots Kai Winn leverages to gain power.

  source

  • ParsnipWitch@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    A lot also think they are Kira while in reality they are just virtue signaling for internet points and the rush of being “right”. They stray further and further from rationality and basically become a screaming hate mob.

  Fascism is fascism. You always feel like you’re on the side of the right when you shout down someone. Free speech isn’t easy, but that’s also why freedom isn’t easy. There’s a difference between someone saying something you don’t like, and that same person bring harm to people or property. While I don’t like bigotry, that person is a citizen just like you, and has the same rights.

    Read “The economy and class structure of german fascism” to gain a cursory understanding of the subject before opining on it again.
