Don't tell this to all these popular fake leftist commentators.

They were all crying like their own fathers were just killed when Kirk got Kirk'd.

What i find so amusing is that the most violent acts these people suffer are done by their ilk. Kinda fitting.

Paradox goes right the fuck away when you look at it in the context of social contract

Its the lone exception to itself. Thats why it gets a fancy name "The paradox of tolerance". To abide by the intolerant is to validate them, thus contradicting your own tolerance of others.

Its circular logic, and the only solution is it carve out one exception, intolerance of those who are intolerant of others

It is self defense at this point. MAGA is being charged up for an attack. The corrupt politicians have found a tiny little percentage of the population to pour hatred onto. They can spew hatred and tap dance while their idiot followers look at the distraction and focus on them instead of the real problem of corruption and greed.

Intolerance is the answer here, but not necessarily or exclusively towards the deranged MAGAts. We really need to focus on the billionaires pulling the strings. Be intolerant of the wealthy having so much influence over these insane nazi wannabes.

I used to believe also this but then I found out who Daryl Davis was and now I understand the best way to beat hatred is the way he beat it. Even thought there might be psychopaths who are devoided of empathy but the percentage of people who have it is really low and knowing psychology you can also deal with them in a functional manner by teaching them that if they commit malice it will have a direct consequence. Violence always generate more violence and we as humanity have evolved and we can deal with these type of people please don't think this is the best way to deal with it.

What Daryl Davis does might work if you are talking about a very small group, but by the time it reaches percentage points of the population that method no longer works as the societal support structure grows from these vial ideologies, the weaker an approach based on societal influence. Eventually the only option left is violence as you have two opposing societies and can no longer pull "radicals" out of their hatred.

Just like with the Fascists of the early 20th century, the only option left was to expunge these hateful societies.

Yes but you have to always do it individually. You are seeing the world in very a bad light the majority is not like this remember there also a lot of people who didn't vote. Please don't be violent even thought it seems like it is the last resource
