Yes. If you aren't actively condemning intolerance you implicitly condoning it.
Phew, lucky that there's no disagreement in this society about what right and wrong is and what should and shouldn't be tolerated. Otherwise we might devolve into two antagonistic political factions mutually condemning each other.
When one faction is calling for the extermination of people based on the way they were born I think it becomes easy to decide which group is in the right.
If it were easy, there wouldn't be this much disagreement.
Easy doesn't stop ignorance. Oh my, I didn't realize we had an enlightened centrist on our hands. You can straight fuck off with that both sides bull shit.
Lol, ironic in thread about tolerance
It makes perfect sense in the context of the discussion we are having. Go pearl clutch about how poorly we are treating fascists elsewhere.
I think it's pretty simple: Are you actively trying to put one group down to further your own interests? If "yes", then you're wrong and should stop that.
Pretty sure both groups are doing that to each other...
People who are advocating for tolerance are trying to put the intolerant group down to further their own interests.
The intolerant are not covered by the contract, so putting them down is fine.
Yeah, killing people is fine as long as you don't like them, I agree.
Easy to twist something into something it's not. Actually try and argue against their point, instead of twisting yourself in knots.
I didn't twist anything, I genuinely believe this.
Argue against their actual point. You cannot compare "intolerance violates the contract of tolerance" to "not liking me means you deserve to die".
Well I'm intolerant. That means contract is broken and you can do whatever you want to me, that eventually leads to murders like in all fascist countries. This is how Nazis came into power, first they were oh so tolerant, until they got power, then they started killing people.
Okay, so you're just being disingenuous. I can't imagine someone actually believing this.
Who said this? Link it for me.
Do look at this guy's post history. It's not worth arguing with him.
He told me some time ago on this post that he literally exists to be intolerant towards people who practice tolerance. He's either a troll or he's so far down the rabbit hole he's in China.
Yikes on bikes
Entire history of Nazi Germany told this to me.
It told you what this person said to you, 60 years before it happened? Try harder, kid.
