I think the paradox of tolerance seems to be wildly misunderstood by the left
if a person cannot be tolerant of the intolerant, then they’re not a tolerant person; hence this “paradox” as interpreted by leftists, seems to advocate for shades of intolerance then, and against a tolerant society existing
yet, tolerance does not imply agreement, nor pacifism. Someone is still free to argue against someone with a view they disagree with, or if such a person uses violence against the person wrongly, they don’t have to “tolerate” the violence (although they are free to do so if that would be prudent) but are able to defend themselves with lawful self-defense
I suppose the word “tolerance” is probably ambiguous in this “paradox”
Additionally, the predominant American attitude seemed to be that such “intolerance” could be voluntarily argued against and overcome; it is legal to advocate for violent ideologies like Nazism or Communism alike, and usually such people were ignored or problems for example with their economics views were brought up and most people voluntarily agreed that such ideologies were not ideal.
So as I understand it, the “paradox of tolerance” is not really a justification for or argument for a necessity of “not tolerating the intolerant”

not Christian extremism, just Christian symbols
I’m not really a fan of tattoos but they’re not necessarily morally wrong, I think some Christians have put small cross tattoos on when going in to combat for bodily identification if they died in battle for example

They’re honestly just Christian symbols and not a problem

Well, I see some leftwing people post they can’t coexist with Nazism in contrast for example. Are you ok with coexisting with nazism or do you think it needs to be “crushed”? I disagree that islam needs to be “crushed” however authortarian variants may pose such a danger

Tattoo on arm: “Deus Vult” (God wills it, crusader motto… typically associated with Catholicism, although Hegseth is Baptist I think?)
Tattoo on chest: Jerusalem cross (multiple religious meanings attached to it)

- Comment on Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy could use private sector methods to slash government jobs 5 days ago:
ehhhh, there’s kind of already a lack of unity as a country, and a lack of standards, and even with the standards apparently a lot of underperforming students
schools will decide that there’s no point in teaching mathematics if math teachers are expensive and impacting the bottom line
since businesses need people who have math skills, the market asks for people to be educated in math, in turn giving incentive for schools to teach math, so there are basically market checks and balances here
plus I imagine if you like math, you don’t need to be forced to learn it, you just fire up something like andymath.com and learn it yourself (for free / cost of internet + electricity) or could post on forums asking for help
It’s definitely a risk and gamble, but they think it will be worth it and produce better results

I think the opposing view says that these things can be provided by private companies or nonprofits
Take the federal Department of Education, for example. You could easily just let state universities take over and/or form a non-federal alliance of sorts or allow educational businesses or nonprofits to be created to fill in the gap.
I think that’s what they have in mind

So, do Judaism and Islam not put much stock in converting non-believers?
Christianity does, maybe that also averts some violent conflict
Jews I thought are mostly born Jews (as opposed to non-Jews, or Gentiles, rather). So those not born Jews are already “the other” for them. I have heard of people converting, but is it not the same? I ask because there doesn’t seem like much idea that the Palestinians could be converted and become Jews.
Likewise, what’s up with Islam’s approach to conversion? I thought people can convert to Islam… so why do they have so many radicals dedicated to (violent) jihad against infidels? Rarely do I hear Muslims say that the solution is for Israel to convert to Islam (do they say this?).

- Comment on Alex Jones' Infowars to Be Shut Down, Assets Liquidated 4 months ago:
Honestly I think you agree with him a bit more than you realize, if we reframe the discussion a bit. Presumably you think “big corporations” are out to get you, right? Wealthy people are the same as “globalists” in this discussion… so do you agree “globalists” ARE out to get you? Or do you think rich people who are “exploiting” workers are “on your side”? You don’t have to agree with everyone Jones says here, as I think he is mixing things that aren’t true with those that are, but you do like understand he’s correct on some of these things, right? Like, do you believe in “corporate conspiracy theories” if I reframe it that way? Companies make people sick so they can profit off giving them a cure? Companies messing up the environment so they can make money cleaning it up? So I guess is there any possibility of recognizing disagreements while also identifying points of agreement?
