  • The issue with the tolerance paradox is it gives way to thuggery once those with the most power decide what their idea of "tolerance" will and will not actually tolerate. That's why we have a Bill of Rights. Call it intolerant, but name something that actually tolerates more (not just "progressive" or anarchist vlaues).

  • If the left wants to be intolerant of a given group, that's a fine, debatable position to have. In that case, however, it's intellectually dishonest to refer to such a position as "tolerant."

    If "tolerance" tolerates intolerance, then who decides what is "tolerance" and "intolerance?"

    Just admit who you don't like and whose rights you want suppressed. Clearly the left has a problem with certain groups of people or they wouldn't be beating up demonstrators of opposing ideals in an unprovoked manner.

  • Considering how the Democratic party panders to and demands special treatment for anyone who isn't cis and white, thus implying all others are inferior, I'm not sure the racism ever left.

    Let's not forget "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, you ain't black!"

  • We in Michigan would love that thing to mosey on by come January...

  • Gab is a fork of Mastodon where conservatives flock. Yes, there are a lot of neo-Nazis, but you aren't exposed to it for long unless you want to be.

  • If I could have the engineering and enterprise acumen and portfolio and cash he does I would love nothing more than to be called a loser. That's winning to me!

  • If you're going to cite antisemitism, please tell me you don't own any of these...

    Volkswagen was literally started by the Third Reich and, along with Auto Union (then-parent of Audi), BMW, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, utilized slave labor during WWII.

    Henry Ford received the highest civilian honor bestowed by the Third Reich, the Grand Cross of the German Eagle.

    While we're at it, make sure you don't have anything from the Associated Press (censored for and collaborated with the Third Reich), Chase (sold war bonds for the Third Reich), Hugo Boss (slave labor and Propaganda materials), IBM (provided information processing for extermination of Jews) or Agfa / BASF / Bayer (came from IG Farben, makers of Zyklon B used to exterminate Jews in gas chambers).

    Do I use any of the above? Yes. My work van was assembled by Ford Otosan of Turkey. I have an upcoming trip insured by Allianz (provided insurance for concentration camp facilities and workers). I'm not the one objecting on the grounds of antisemitism, though.

    I've never seen evidence of Elon Musk being an antisemite, but for the sake of discussion, let's say it's true. How many Jews have he or his enterprises exterminated?

    Oh, and crush Hamas, people who properly exterminate Jews.

  • Because it's the in thing on Reddit in the Fediverse to hate Elon Musk.

  • All the more reason to get run-flats. Spike strips can't stop them.

  • Any intelligence agency who legitimately thought that app was ever secure after simple OSINT techniques reveal otherwise needs to be overhauled from the top down.

  • I hope this conversation doesn't end with me getting gunned down.

  • Military: Danner, then Belleville
    Security: Nortiv8 (see Amazon)
    Field Service: Skechers Work (no,they aren't boots...just comfortable)

  • It isn't the first time propaganda has been taught in our public schools. At all.

  • I'm not condoning any of his alleged actions, but it's neither Apple's nor Alphabet's place to unduly influence what I as a user do, say, think or feel.
