From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The post on Mastodon has a screenshot of the post edit history:
And a copy-pasted response from a moderator (the most relevant bit):
Consider the following: no, they don't.
Crazy statement, if we accept the gays we should accept the nazis too.
Sure, up to the point where they harass someone or attack them, or have a history of doing so. A belief of "I think some people do not deserve to exist" is different from a belief of "People should be allowed to X" or "People who Y should not be harassed". A nazi sympathizer who thinks nazis shouldn't be attacked is fine, a nazi who attacks others is not.
Nah, fuck nazis. They don't deserve to exist.
I agree in principle, but you're not going to win any battles with that mindset. They'll just respond with "so much for the tolerant left". Victimization is a beloved pastime for them.
A brick is approaching a Nazi's teeth from an initial distance of 10m horizontally and a velocity of 10m/s. You may assume the absence of air resistance and treat the brick as a point mass.
Calculate the initial angle(s) required to remove the most teeth and determine whether the Nazi can complain about the tolerant left before a brick removes their ability to speak.
This response is entirely unhelpful. Yes. Fuck nazis. I get it. This adds nothing. Nazis are bad, but we must coexist with them, lest we round them all up and get rid of them, which isn't gonna happen. If it were that easy, we'd have done it already!
We may have to coexist with them from a logistical standpoint but we do not have to tolerate them. The paradox of tolerance is that we must not tolerate the intolerant.
