There’s a substantial difference between intolerance and oppression.
What are the most important differences?
Oppression implies that there is an oppressor with some sort of power or control over the other party.
Intolerance is being unwilling to accept something.
So are you suggesting fascists and fascist movements should not be restrained via group with power and control over them but people just not accepting them is fine?
No. I’m suggesting that just because a person is intolerant doesn’t mean that they’re oppressive.
Hopefully every liberal will remember people being disappeared off the streets in broad daylight by fascist thugs in ski masks next time an actual Nazi complains about their free speech being taken away, right? Right? No? They will be the first ones on the scene voraciously fellating the Nazi? ok.
tolerance is a contract not a gift, you have to sign it first to receive the benefits.
Everyone deserves exactly as much tolerance as they’re willing to give to others. No more, no less. If someone is hateful to you, no point in wasting your time trying to be nice to them. “I’ll be nice to the nazi maybe that’ll change them” has never worked, not once.
