Organize and protect yourselves and those you care about, Nazis won't care.

Arm yourselves.

The Nazis are already armed.

Yep, becoming familiar with firearms is something I wish was unnecessary, but until the working class is liberated it's necessary. I dream of a future where the working class has won triumphantly, worldwide, and that violence fades into urban legend outside of somber historical remembrance.

Paradox of tolerance.

The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.

In a tolerant society we must be intolerant of intolerance.

My only disagreement with Popper is hes too lenient in what counts as intolerant

Edit - My mistake, I somehow was blind to the first in-.

No we musn't. The intolerant have broken the social contract and are no longer extended that latitude.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

Screw the paradox. Tolerance is a social contract. Intolerant people aren't covered by the contract, therefore intolerance of intolerance isn't hypocritical or paradoxical.

You are agreeing. They said we must be INtolerant of intolerance.

You are correct, I misread what they wrote despite quoting it. Whoops. 🙂

If only his solo music was as good as his politics. The difference in quality between his work with RATM and his solo output is mind boggling.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That feels unnecessarily harsh. Especially since music is subjective and he's purposefully not using his greatest skill, the electric guitar... and while I'm not a fan of the nightwatchman stuff, the music itself isn't bad, just not my cup of tea. Also, the Audioslave stuff is great too, not just RATM. That's already two hugely successful bands, which is 2 more than most artists.

Nazis deserve exactly as much mercy and tolerance as they give to others.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There, the solution!

Repay everyone exactly as much tolerance as they give to you

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No, this wording is bad.

I get a lot of tolerance from Nazis, because I'm a big, white, blue eyed, german dude. And I do not intend to give that back, I'll give them exactly as much tolerance as they give to my ethnic or sexual minority brothers and sisters.

Fair enough!
