You’re advocating for tolerating the intolerant. All you’re doing is being the Kaiser Wilhelm-looking character in this comic about the Paradox of Tolerance:
Karl Popper described this as a paradox, but it’s not even that.
Tolerance is a social contract that we all agree to participate in. By not tolerating others, conversatives/fascists have broken the contract, and are then no longer bound by or protected by it. Therefore it is not wrong or paradoxical to not tolerate the intolerant.
I enjoyed reading your replies to this dolt. I think they try to exhaust you by muddying the water but all he’s done is make his position look utterly stupid and exhausting.
I think his goal is to make people afraid to engage and silence others from posting? Or maybe it’s simply to waste your time. Either way, I appreciate your attempt at engaging this bad faith “I’m on your side no really” actor.
Honestly come to think of it, I do blame you and people with your attitude for the rise of fascism in the U.S. “”“Centrists”“” kept tolerating them for decades, and they kept feeling more and more emboldened.

You’re all over the place. I asked how “not playing their game” has worked out. Do you feel like your strategy is working?

And is your tactic making life better for the millions of women who can no longer get a safe abortion?
Do you believe yours is? Quite the job you’re doing.

Yes. I have been told (though they could have been lying, but I don’t see why they would) that I have convinced people to switch their stance.
Does surreptitiously threatening to shoot people change minds, you think?

No one has ever called me a centrist before. I strongly support a UBI, universal healthcare, subsidized housing.
You’re just lashing out because you’re angry and frustrated and don’t know how to channel it except threatening violence.
