I COULD GIVE A SHIT (v4)

I could give a shit
What color your skin
Who you sleep with
What you wear
Which Gods you cry at orgasm
What you eat
How you style your hair
I could give a shit
But I don't

If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. -Karl Popper 1945

i like stuff you hate, and hate stuff you like. i think some things that you say are important are in fact trivial, and some things you think are trivial are actually important. i think there are things many people like undeservedly, and a lot of things many people dislike are disliked unfairly. i have no wish to debate these values, as i do not believe debate has educational value. however, i believe in a world in which we are free to avoid each other without fear of violence. and maybe we can interact based on shared likes, rather than shared dislikes. the latter instance sounds like an emergency, whereas the former just sounds like ordinary life. #tolerance

@PHIL_FISH Of course, that’s what I was saying. More a person spouts about #tolerance and inclusion, less they know what they are talking about.

" the story speaks, I think, to a wider truth about the increasingly polarised world that we live in, one in which our views are subjected to the confirmation bias brought about by the echo chambers of social media. We’ve become tribal and angry. We talk about our enemies more than we used to." #farming #veganism #politics #tolerance

@mkhoury @leidkultur @analyticus @philosophy @gerritbeine Rainer Forst's excellent SEP-entry on Toleration is always an apt philosophical source, if the concept is of interest,

Here is a poem ChatGPT composed, on occasion of India's Independence Day:
🙏🏽☮️🩷

In lands where once the saffron bloomed so fair,
Where hymns of unity once filled the air,
A ghostly chill now whispers to the crowd,
A tale of power, veiled beneath a shroud.

In marble halls where silver rivers flow,
The opulent in silken robes bestow
Their hollow words, like candy to a child,
While outside, hunger roams the streets, so wild.

The masters change, but chains remain the same,
A different era, yet familiar game.
Colonizers in a bygone day,
Replaced by modern suits who've lost their way.

They claim the color of a flag, so grand,
Is worth the strife that’s tearing at the land,
While tint of skin or choice of god to praise,
Becomes a cause for flames and cruel displays.

They sell the future for a fleeting gain,
To foreign giants who, in turn, will reign.
In whispered deals and dark, clandestine plans,
They trade the soul of lands and weary clans.

"No longer shackled by a crown," they cheer,
But fail to see the chains that still are near.
For in the hearts of those who lead today,
The old colonial mind still holds its sway.

The poor, they suffer still, their cries unheard,
Drowned out by rhetoric, by lines so blurred.
Divide, distract, with foe and false alarm,
While few grow fat and many suffer harm.

In this grand play, where politicians jest,
The truth, like sun, when rising in the east,
Can pierce the dark and bring a hopeful day,
When minds unshackled rise and have their say.

To heal, unite, and common dreams embrace,
A land for all, not just the privileged race,
Where flags and anthems swell the heart with pride,
Not used as cloaks where darker truths can hide.

A tolerance asymmetry: it is easier to persuade the tolerant to become less tolerant than to convince the intolerant to become more tolerant

The #tolerance #paradox is solved if you consider the #social contract #fascists break

Mistruths matter, hate grows as a result, misguided policies are created, and an ugly social spiral follows.

I guess it's time for another #Introduction. But since I'm lazy, I'll just C&P my profile.

If the body is tolerant to intestinal worms, they will eventually eat it.
#tolerance

given the discrimination allowed for private businesses in the 303 CREATIVE LLC v. ELENIS decision [https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/21-476_c185.pdf], this activism can be played both ways

businesses can align themselves with a social tolerance contract, "all who are tolerant welcome here"

I personally would choose to try to shop only at businesses displaying such a logo

Comme tous les paradoxes, sa gestion n'est pas évidente.

Perso, si les gens peuvent installer #thread alors ils peuvent installer #Tusky.

Pourtant je suis plus prudente dans mes paroles quand j'en discute avec les autres modérateurs... Mais il est clair qu'il ne faut pas leur faire confiance hors #activityPub fonctionne sur la #confiance.
