As planned

Britain did brexit and a bunch of other countries elected right wing nut jobs in response to globalization, not just the us

yeah its been ‘fun’ talking about this on Lemmy and Reddit at the same time.

On reddit, I’m an anti-semite. On lemmy, I’m a racist zionist.

In reality I understand the paradox of tolerance extends to fundamentalist abrahamic religions, which are all intolerant themselves, and therefore should not be tolerated.

spoken like someone who has never had religious nutjobs take over their government.

Seriously, the news prints the headline as if the rest of the article doesn’t make it really clear this is a claim from nowhere.

Its the same with drawing.

Its funny how no one gets confused about lawyers having to practice law, etc. We need better PR.

And yet everyone I know who has used it pre-2010s ish says ‘sequel’

This one fits me best

New one I just became aware of:

How does everyone say SQL?

They don’t care about the quality of television. Writing a story that goes on and on and offers the possibility of several spinoffs is the equivalent of micro-transactions in video games : they make more money that way.

Capitalism only maximizes money, it doesn’t maximize quality. It eats quality to make more money.

because conservatives believe everyone thinks like them and are just scared to admit it

just need to preserve this line because its so spot on

People were saying that about cryogenics.

Humans have a vast body of knowledge about how things work. It’s a shame its dwarfed by the vast body of knowledge we are completely ignorant of.

Much as scientists managed to be surprised that life had evolved to eat garbage in the pacific garbage patch, it seems some will manage to be surprised that when humans eliminate one source of mortality, another inevitably evolves to take advantage of the ever-growing supply of humans.

paradox does not mean ‘has two definitions’. It means the ONE definition contains a contraction, i.e. ‘tolerance needs to be intolerant towards intolerance in order for a tolerant society to exist’ contains a contradiction.

Really can’t agree that qyron is right, doesn’t seem to know what the paradox of tolerance is

‘people posting stuff you consider harmful’ is not a simple, black and white issue. Anyone who pretends that allowing all opinions has no consequences is full of shit, anyone who claims that tightly policing opinions has no consequences is full of shit.

Like almost everything in life, you will have to navigate a tenuous balance between these two things and you will never know if you got the balance right. You are just a sack of meat doomed to die.
