This is why horseshoe theory is wrong, leftists would have engaged in debate until they found an ideological impasse then written you off as the wrong kind of leftist.

I see the beginnings of your point but if you self identify as an asshole but insist you’re actually nice and treat people well what do we call major assholes that nobody likes?

hey bud maybe you think everyone is an asshole like you and that’s your excuse for being one but that’s not going to change that you’re an asshole and especially as people get older they have less time for assholes.

You might want to stop trying to own it and just try not being an asshole instead.

I disagree with some of that. Individual freedoms do sometimes need to be limited, for example “freedom” to oppress or “freedom” to deny hiring certain races.

It’s considered a paradox because by tolerating intolerance you allow intolerance to occur. And by being intolerant of intolerance you are allowing intolerance to occur.

The point of it is to highlight that intolerance is enabled by being too tolerant. We must not tolerate intolerance, paradoxically, in order to have a tolerant society.

The nuance being in what things are not being tolerated. Anarchist ideology is about abolishing hierarchy and building a completely egalitarian society, part of the work to do that means taking unjustly hoarded wealth away from the wealthy.

That’s another example of how egalitarian and tolerant goals require some intolerant actions.

Ok then I think you’re saying the paradox of tolerance doesn’t necessitate extra-legal action, maybe instead of “misunderstood” you meant “interpreted in ways I disagree with” and that’s fine.

It’s a classic liberal position, one that liberals often hold as they sleepwalk towards fascism, but I can forgive you for being a liberal.

However, there are many that won’t let laws (which are again morally apathetic and can and often are unjust or fascist in nature themselves) stop us from resisting fascism in every possible way as the situation calls for it. I’m thankful for those people.

You made a wild assertion defining the thing as something it’s absolutely not about while implying I misunderstood it in the same breath, and now I should be charitable in how I interpret you?

Point being: paradox of intolerance is absolutely agnostic to what’s legal and sometimes it can mean punching nazis

Well you certainly proved that it’s misunderstood

The paradox of tolerance is not about laws which are distinct from morality. It’s not a legal concept at all

Jokes aside you need to look up the concept of the paradox of tolerance. Only people lacking reason and centrists (but i repeat myself) would see “both sides” as being the same

You played with toys as a kid? Back in my day kids worked. You little pansy

The user labelling feature is nice because I knew you were a zionist loser before even reading this nonsense

Everyone is an anti simit why are all of you jew haters trying to stop the state of Israel from committing genocide your simitisim is showing you’re basically Hitler for wanting to prevent a genocide why are you so simit

worth noting this is a decade-long campaign not related to the current conflict. back when most of the world was unconditionally loving Israel they were doing this

Social programs and social welfare aren’t really balancing socialism with capitalism, the means of production is fully owned by capitalists and there is no democratization of it. Sure we have some coops but the vast majority of workplaces are dictatorships

Capitalism only works in theory in practice it’s all homeless encampments, people going hungry, wealth inequality, gender inequality, race inequality, global inequality, climate disaster, war.

Capitalism has never worked

Communism is when wealth disparity

It’s not https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rittenhouse-military-enlistment-test/

Too lazy to see CNN, BBC, CBC all reporting the same? If you take the IDF’s word alone maybe their acknowledgment of civilian deaths in the strike will suffice?

when a huge multinational corporation worth more than the GDP of many nations organizes their resources using a plan decided by executives, and starts to vertically integrate to control their supply chain, and reaps the cost savings, that’s just good capitalism.

No organization that’s publicly owned could ever vertically integrate and make efficient use of resources, no, you need a dictatorship where the wealthiest have all the power for that kind of thing to work

The reason markets trend toward monopoly is that it’s so ineffective

hey man what are you using?
