Excellent diving in! I believe you are accusing me of hypocrisy - could you expand on this? I'm very interested if I can be caught out in fallacy, given how ardently I challenge fallacy when I find it.
To note - literally, I did not use the word "tolerant" in the previous post, and someone made an argument based off a strange assumption that I did.
I don't believe racism should be tolerated. Does that thus mean we live in an intolerant society? If I claimed my opinion set the cultural Zeitgeist, would you not accuse me of great arrogance?
- zeveb 8y agoI don't think that you're a hypocrite; I think that you're honest about your intolerance. But you're not the only one, and I think that you are an example of our current Zeitgeist, which is — I believe — one of remarkable intolerance for opposing points of view. Granted, we're all intolerant of something; the question is where we draw the line. I think that for quite awhile in the 80s and 90s the line was high, but now it's very very low in comparison.
- komali2 8y agoMaybe it would help to define "intolerant?" For example, I don't believe racists shouldn't be harmed for their beliefs, but I think their beliefs should be called out as harmful and immoral at every opportunity. That is what I mean by "intolerant." Do you have a different idea?
- zeveb 8y agoI would call that tolerant, as opposed to accepting or celebratory.
