      Have tolerant people to be tolerant towards the intolerant? This question has claimed the coherence of so many philosopher’s brains. Poor souls.

        The “paradox of tolerance” has never legitimately stumped anyone. The initial act of intolerance broke the social contract, thus removing their right to tolerance themselves.

      favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom.

      The only thing I can come up with is you’re defending people’s personal freedom to be fascists?

          If your opposed to calls to violence against those that are trying to take away trans rights that’s fine. I’m just curious about calling authoritarianism.

          In calling for violence against fascists…who’s authority are we upholding?

            Enforcing your preferred kind of politics with guns sounds like a bad idea. I’m German, we did that a few times in our history.

              How did letting the facisim play out for ya there champ?
