Watching Destiny watch trannies talk about Destiny makes me hate trannies. Oh my fucking god these people are fucking unreal. Talk about paradox of tolerance.

It’s kind of ironic because it’s usually trannies themselves that invoke the paradox of tolerance for why no one should tolerate “Nazis”.

I think the LGBT movement perverted the meaning of the word "tolerate" and this twisted definition is what actually causes the "paradox of tolerance".

Just thought about this now, so maybe there's a flaw in my thinking, but I don't think tolerating something means accepting or agreeing with that thing in any way. It doesn't mean you can't criticize it or you can't actively show you disagree with it. It just means you don't get to attack an individual over who their are or what they think. You don't get to try to fire someone or ruin their life. You don't get to go on Twitter or Twitch and say "we need to cancel this fucker". You don't get to bully someone, you don't get to harass them, you don't get to do what so much of the internet has devolved into doing.

Tolerating someone/something should basically be the definition of the Christian saying: "hate the sin, not the sinner". Meanwhile, I think the LGBT movement managed to transform "tolerance" into "you can NEVER say anything bad about a homosexual or homosexuality, or else you're intolerant".

Their version of "tolerance" seems to have some amount of censorship and compelled speech in it. I think we need to return tolerance to "I'm gonna criticize the heck of what you do, but I won't try to kill you".

@alyx @dave @crunklord420 I get the feeling that Karl Popper's original conception of the 'paradox of tolerance' has been largely perverted through the distribution of bad leftist comics.

I haven't got to reading his work directly, I've mostly been reading David Deutsch who built heavily off Karl Popper but from what I've read the paradox of tolerance had to do with not tolerating factions within society who try to spread their ideas through means outside of debate. In Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy you can easily point to the paramilitary organisations of the black shirts and brown shirts.These intolerant means of gaining political power in absence of debate shouldn't be tolerated was my interpretation of the point. In reality the arguments is probably somewhere in the middle.

I think you can easily analogise this to how they bar people from debate by taking their platforms and their money. Karl Popper's politics seem really wacky and a lot weaker than his philosophy of science work. Academics really like to become leading voices of politics. Soros' involvement surely doesn't help at all. :blobtonguewink:
@Philoxenus @alyx @dave the paradox is tolerance is retarded and so is Karl Popper. It's so comically laughable. You may as well just say "it's morally correct to kill people I don't like", it's at least more intellectually honest.

Philosophers are the biggest retards in the world. Here's a simple fact, houses have windows, cars have windows, therefore houses are cars. It's really just that fucking simple, and if you disagree you need to read 800 of metaphysics.
@crunklord420 @Philoxenus @alyx @dave the problem with modern philosophers for me is that they forget their place in the world. They think they are of highest importance in their own, whereas philosophy is just a service like plumbing. They exist to serve and give perspectives for other people, just as servants, nothing more. They forget that nowadays.

>the problem with modern philosophers
Maybe we have a different understanding of the word modern, but I'm confident what you're describing has been a problem for longer than just modern times.

@alyx @dave @Philoxenus @crunklord420 yeah i guess it was similar before. but i feel as if it has gotten worse in modern times. maybe just biased since i am alive nowadays and wasn't before.
