- spicymaki 5y agoSo you would rather support racist and sexist books than books about the LGBT written by people of color? I am not sure of your position.
- llanowarelves 5y agoNice strawman. Repressive Tolerance defined by Herbert Marcuse is tolerating or looking the other way when left-wing commits violence, banning, etc. But hyper-responding (repressing) right wingers doing even a fraction of the same as them. If you define the other side as oppressors before they label you oppressors, you are morally allowed to oppress them, in the name of "tolerance". Normal people would say it's wrong when anyone or "any side" does it.
