Limiting the ability to tread on others IS treading on them! ...to them
I legit had this stupid fucking argument with this moron who claimed that they should have the right to be intolerant. No dude, your rights end where your fist hits my face. People claim freedom we aren't completely free, we live in a society together. We agreed as a society that murder and assault are not allowed, and that could be considered curtailing "freedoms". These morons though don't see the nuance and just want to be racist pricks
Hear, hear! I mean, that moron has the right to be intolerant, but not to reshape society in their image. And they aren't free from the social consequences of their personal intolerance.
The Tolerance Paradox. The one thing a tolerant society cannot tolerate is Intolerance.
you'd be shocked at how many people don't grasp this
lol not shocked at all, I am painfully aware.
