    You should understand the psychology behind this, which comes down to this paradox:

    The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

    The only good solution to stop intolerance is to be intolerant against those who preach intolerance, like Trump and other regimes.

      No that would be stupid. Perpetuating hatred and dividing people is not an effective way of bringing people together and I can’t believe you needed that explain to you

      The best solution is sunlight. You openly talk about things and try and understand the other side’s point of view you try and get them to understand your point of view and then you see if there’s grounds for common understanding anywhere. But only a fool thinks that you can create peace and love by spreading hatred and violence

        Are you fucking stupid? Their point of view is that people like me shouldn’t exist. I refuse to find common ground with fascists. They can all rot in the holes they’re digging.

          I don’t know very many on the right to think that people like you shouldn’t exist. Of course I’m assuming by that you mean that you’re transgender. The vast majority that I’ve spoken to believe you should exist but they have problems with where your rights and their rights have conflict.

          And they’re absolutely is tons of room for discussion there. But again you’re bringing nothing but hatred anger and bigotry to the table so your excuses some ridiculous nonsense about how they all hate you and want you to stop existing therefore that excuses you from having to do the right thing

          Yeesh.

              I am 100% accurate and the only reason you think differently is because you’re full of bigotry and hatred and they’re behaving like a terrible person.
