Creating the next-generation of anti-Zionists.
Coming from a guy who had to stomach literally Nazi’s waving red flags protesting to kill everyone who isn’t their color.
While I would certainly disagree with anyone who agrees with Hamas’ use of tactics.
I find silencing them to be completely undemocratic. Obviously there are exceptions, but I think the general public has got a handle on this.
And it is healthy to talk about these kinds of things. Especially as a society, sometimes it is good to rehash these arguments to throw away what is outdated, and bring in new perspectives.
But just note: once the boomer generation is gone, these people who support Israel. And all those rules that have been shifted off to others are going to come back home to roost.
Are you sure that is what you want? Because I can be patient.
It’s the intolerance paradox. A tolerant society can’t allow this kind of hate to go on.
This is specifically not what the tolerance paradox is about.
That basically revolves around actions. Say whatever you’d like so long as you’re not actively hurting anyone or inciting anyone to hurt anyone else.
Essentially at what point is intolerance something you can no longer tolerate, it doesn’t at all say or imply intolerance itself cannot be tolerated.
When a Nazi tells you they’re a Nazi, and then you do nothing, you’re complicit when they actually start doing Nazi shit.
genx is the most trumpy of all the generations and millennials are now in their early 40’s; unless you’re genz or younger, i wouldn’t wait.
also living long enough to watch biden go from dunking on gays to get easy political points to being hailed as the most pro-gay president ever has convinced me that things change in ways that don’t make sense so i now expect that, as wealth transfers from boomers to their younger relatives, we’ll see fascist sentiments resurge due to newly wealthy people feeling like they need to do something to keep their new found wealth.
I find silencing people who calls on killing all Jews to be completely undemocratic.
Right-wingers are masters of both escalation and creating long-term, multi-generational consequences.
What is so hard to understand about “murder bad, apartheid bad”?
Hate speech is not part of free speech.
But those brown people holding signs scare me!
