"We're trying to create a safe and loving home."
"Wow, so what you're saying is you won't love me if I come in and release millions of angry wasps in your home? Have fun in your echo chamber, I guess."
They appeal to tolerance because we value it, not because they do. Once they have power they won’t practice the tolerance towards differences in opinion they demand.
Once they have power they won’t practice the tolerance
Well duh. They don't even pretend to practice tolerance when they don't have power.
I'm just going to leave this in case someone needs to see it for the first time. Paradox of Tolerance
No paradox once you stop viewing tolerance a principle and start viewing it as a social contract; only those that keep it are covered by it.
I really like this take, I'm going to steal it.
Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.
The Paradox of Tolerance,
Karl Popper,
1945.Wonderful quote, but curse my brain for reading "Karl Popper" as "Carl Pappa"
It's worth noting that what Karl Popper most likely meant by intolerance is something like "forbid their followers to listen to rational argument ... teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols" rather than any broader meaning of the term, and is here explicitly giving credit to the value of rational debate.
Yep, I think the irony of this post is lost on some people.
Preach, funny little rocket man.
Also transphobic discussion shouldn't be tolerated either. At this point transphobes should be regarded with ridicule and hatred. They've had ample opportunity to show sympathy for something as simple as pronouns and yet they're still bigots.

Deus vult for me to find a nazi and kill them with a 950 jdj
whatever "intolerance" is required to bar nazis from your society is infinitesimal compared to the intolerance that would result from allowing even a single nazi into your society.
there's also the greater point here that intolerance based in hatred of an individual or group's immutable characteristics only bears a superficial resemblance to intolerance of that same bigotry. they are not meaningfully comparable, and attempts to conflate the two have to be understood as an attempt to smuggle hate in under the nose of otherwise well-meaning people
So much for the tolerant left. Ever heard of little thing called FREEZE PEACH. You probably haven't, its in our Constitution, the very best document ever, made by the best political minds ever so that we'd all have freedom, even you red fash scum. I support everyone's right to speak in the free marketplace of ideas. I'm not afraid of competition, that's what makes us free, unlike dictatorships like Russia, China, Cuba, or North Korea. The Free World can handle it, unlike you people.
Enjoy your echo chamber tankie
WORMS and killing MAGATS
a paring I didn’t know I needed
Oh shit I didn’t get that this was worms. Man, there is a blast from the past.
I don’t know if it’s from WORMS but the over exaggerating weapons with the worm like head coming from the ground only bring me to that conclusion
That's a pretty interesting mustache in the first panel.
Michael Jordan would’ve had greater success taking back the toothbrush mustache if he carried a rocket launcher.
"These socialists, they're the real fascists! They threatened and bullied me all over a simple difference of opinion!
The difference of opinion:

This is why I have no sympathy for Tankies. Their ideology has caused the death of tens of millions and we should not allow that to happen again just for the sake of "tolerance".
This is the dumbest stra-man circle-jerk fart-sniffing hate-porn I've seen yet here. Nazis don't exist — they are a figment of the past. Neither do the caricature archetypes of the commentariat.
The most offensive part isn't even the blatant lies, it's the laziness. This 2-minutes is just so Goddamn unbelievably lazy.Hold this ban my guy.

Cancelling out the intolerant? Sign me up!
You protect tolerance by not allowing intolerance. You can't have both things at the same time.
even here in moscow i'm not safe from you people. Товарищ Путин, активируйте шпалы КГБ немедленно!
