- starspangled 2y agoI didn't say it wasn't.
- sjsdaiuasgdia 2y agoCreating a false equivalency between intolerance of the intolerant and intolerance of others / other groups is a key rhetorical device for fascists. Even if you've walked to this position through "logic" and a concept of perfectly spherical human beings [0], with no steps through fascism, you should be aware of how this position is used by fascists to give themselves a veneer of rationality while painting their opponents as irrational.

- starspangled 2y agoI didn't create a false equivalence.
- sjsdaiuasgdia 2y agoOk this time I'll put as much effort into my reply as you did: Yes you did.
- Shosty123 2y agoThey actually didn't and I don't know why you think they did.
- sjsdaiuasgdia 2y ago>Seems like a typical mythos of most political movements these days, doesn't it? E.g., "the far-right is our greatest threat". >Though I'm sure right-wing groups believe themselves to be tolerant of one-another and their allies and others with similar aims, and that groups that oppose them are intolerant and therefore must be met with intolerance. >Other side will call them intolerant racists too, it is also pretty clear to them. These would be the statements where they were creating a false equivalence. The things being compared are not equivalent but they are given rhetorical treatment to make them seem equivalent.
- Shosty123 2y agoFrom what I can tell, they simply made an observation. You're the one applying a value judgment to their statements. Pointing out that different tribes use rhetoric to "other" outsiders isn't creating a false equivalence.
- sjsdaiuasgdia 2y agoCongrats, you've bought into the fascist's messaging.
- starspangled 2y agoYou're very intolerant of people discussing this subject.
- sjsdaiuasgdia 2y agoI'm intolerant of fascist messaging.
