The solution to the tolerance paradox is that intolerance should not be tolerated. What this intolerance of intolerance looks like might vary, from shunning to telling them off to arresting them.

In the case of Nazis shunning and telling off has been tried in the years before WW2. It was made known that you can’t make Nazis go away just by telling them to stop. We fought an entire war because they kept trying to impose their fascist ways on the world. And now they have returned, so why should we waste time with diplomacy again? Even Germany, having learnt the most from WW2 and having some of the most strict anti-fascism laws, is now home to one of the largest far-right party in Europe. We know how to get rid of Nazis and other fascists, the same way we did last time. And we know that if we let them be they will come for us, and try again to impose their fascist ways onto the world again.

In this case violence towards the intolerant is justified, because we know they will not listen to reason.

The best way guarantee good rulers would be to forbid people from seeking to be a ruler. But how then do you get rulers?

Recently I’ve been thinking about what the internet was like in the 90s. Back when there was no social media. Maybe we should all return to forums and BBSs.

Just imagine how cheap the eggs will be!

As if people here never responded to stuff with “dope,” “rad,” “as if,” etc.

People who get upset at kids using their slang are no different from boomers who got upset at them for using their slang
