    It’s okay to call stupid people stupid to their face - them, their ideas, whatever it is that they’re doing dumb. In the U.S. we’ve gone too far over on the “tolerate all people and their views” which has allowed fascism and MAGAts to gain far too much power - putting idiots in their place is (or at least would have been) the best way put it back where it belongs.

      I think there’s a difference between not calling someone an idiot and tolerating their bad ideas and actions though. I agree people need to be stopped, and not tolerated, but when the only answer is insulting them with various names like idiot or nazi, all that ends up happening is they keep their toxic and destructive ideas hidden from the public, and then band with others labelled idiot and nazi, until they feel comfortable in a group to express their rhetoric without fear.

        At which point you make such groups illegal and start investigating and prosecuting, officially and not.

        Yeah, I know that won’t get us to a state of educated well-meaning humanity caring for all life. But I can’t deny seeing some assholes getting their own medicine will make me smile for some time

            I’ve spent a day thinking whether to reply this or not. In the end, can’t expect you to read my mind, so here it goes: look at my point about not getting to a better place, which is why I am not going to actually do things like that, despite holding the position that oppressors have every right to become oppressed. Sadly, this way does not end oppression

      Criticism isn’t intolerance. Confused about freedom of speech?
