I have long thought the paradox of intolerance was bullshit, largely spouted by those who don't want to put in the effort to actually understand the humanity of the other. The easiest example I can show that pretty handily disproves the paradox of tolerance is Daryl Davis, the black blues musician who befriended and converted many KKK members, including high-ranking people, simply by talking and tolerating them.
Note that you can tolerate the ~human~ without tolerating the actions. Actions can be good or bad, people are just people, each as capable of great good as they are great evil, and the only way to actually crush intolerable ideals is by connecting with the human inside.
I don't think anyone has an obligation to this. Be safe and true to you, but for those who CAN, hiding behind a paradox IS intolerable.
Because they're still someone. You can't take a hard line moralist approach and abandon it as soon as it's inconvenient.
No one should suffer these things, not the vilest of criminals, or the idiots who think they should.
People who glorify horrible deeds when done to certain people always confused me
I unironically saw one of these and could not for the life of me see anything other than the t-rex's. I thought it was odd, but also better than the other decorations.
Your hand sanitizer doesn't advertise germ-free, it advertises 99.9% germ free. It'd be a problem if they advertised it as germ free, and it wasn't
99.9% boneless wings, sure. That's fine. You expect a leftover bone here and there. Who the fuck is gonna buy 99.9% boneless wings, though? No one. You know that, I know that, and advertisers know that. So they label it in a misleading factor to sell more.
Surprising, a vegan coming somewhere, unprompted, to decry their moral superiority. The only things as reliable are "get a real measurement system" and "oh, that's a problem? I use Linux."
You're blind to the progress you've made, because it's slow, and because you've convinced yourself it isn't there. Keep going, every day there's going to be reason to struggle. Your brain's going to be an asshole, but you're still going, still struggling, still progressing. Eventually, you'll be able to quiet the shittier internal voices, and start talking to yourself like you deserve to. Love yourself, you're going through the shit right now, but you're ~still going~
Happy to see you post again, even if it's not under the best circumstances. You got this, bud.
