Social media sites should have 'reverse' Parental Controls; where adult children can block their boomer/senior parents' accounts from viewing conspiracy and radicalizing content. - eviltoast

    Maybe I’m crazy, but I don’t think we should kill large amounts of people just because they follow a different political ideology than us. 🙄 We have to be better than these extremists to truly show them a better way…

        Not to back up any specific beliefs/statements from OP, but the Paradox of Tolerance does exist. The woefully intollerant should not be tolerated. It just depends on how you “don’t tolerate” them that determines how upsetting of a response someone has.

        For example, just literally disenfranchising them might be enough … or at least could have been. Though after the intolerant gain enough power, there remains very, very few functional options. It’s literally all of the lessons that came out of WW2…

        “first they came for the socialists…”

        If so, I don’t think they would have 2 different verbs: “remove that kind of brain rot and delete the people that perpetuate it.

        EDIT: Not to worry, they clarified by doubling-down on their holocaust argument.

      just because they follow a different political ideology than us

      Good thing the actual reason is the being Nazi thing, not just having a different opinion then!

      Fuck Nazis and anyone who thinks they don’t deserve a slow and agonizing death

          educate and build a compassionate society is obviously the correct answer, but we can’t do that because there is a portion of society that will never let that happen. remove the roadblocks. anything less is being complicit in prolonged suffering.

            “We can build our utopia, we just have to kill everyone who doesn’t agree with us” doesn’t sound very right in my ears. It sounds like something where one should ask “are we the baddies?”

              Learn nuance. They’re speaking to the Paradox of Tolerance, not calling for a blind genocide…

                  History proves that naive view … very naive. Should the US never joined in the war? Should the Poles and French simply rolled over to the Nazis? You seem to be saying yes, which is simply pathetic beyond ignorance.

                    No, I did not say that. And it says a lot that I am called pathetic for taking the position of the voice of reason.

                    But I will end this communication with you now, have a nice day
