xAI has moved into an abandoned factory promising jobs and investment. Residents and environmental groups say the new facility is bringing yet more pollution to community that’s long been fighting for clean air
I hope you don’t feel you’re any better than them, then. Because hate begets hate. You should attack bigotry, you should attack the hateful ideology, but you can’t assume that every Trump voter even understood the impact of what they chose. The entire media ecosystem and education system in this country are explicitly designed to keep us from understanding how things work. The vitriol isn’t going to solve anything.
Yikes. Evangelizing about tolerance towards a group that itself preaches the value in your wholesale slaughter is… not great. We can at the same time understand that they’ve been victims of a massive propaganda campaign and revile them for wanting us dead. Wishing for someone to face the consequences of their actions isn’t intolerant, it’s fair.
You don’t get one without the other. Hate is what they feed on. Attention. Anger. Deprive them of that. Any harm done to them hurts their neighbors, their kids, other locals who didn’t vote, or voted against it, and it’s just… a bad take. Wishing harm on others is just shit-slinging, and I’m sick of it. Reject the hate in your heart.
That’s not the same thing. I’m saying, “don’t wish harm on people just because they live in a red state or voted Republican”. You’re saying that means I’m advocating for the tolerance of hate. I am not advocating for that. I’m saying that wishing harm on people is shitty. Of course we should ban bigoted speech from online spaces.
Paradox of tolerance applies here. Your “argument” amounts to nothing but the usual right wing lies of “so much for the tolerant left”. A tolerant society requires intolerance towards the intolerant. It is not that difficult to grasp.
I’ve always disliked that this is called a “paradox”. It’s more of a linguistic issue more than logic. The statement is just as well “we dislike malice”. No paradox there.

You are actually philosophically in the wrong here- you should take a look at the paradox of tolerance.
A tolerant, just person MUST NOT tolerate intolerance.

Intolerance towards the intolerant. That is absolutely what the paradox of tolerance implies.
It’s absolutely the same thing, you’re just not paying attention to what you’re actually saying.
I think you live in a bubble.
The modern version of “no u”? Rapier like, truly.
