Back on topic. Democracy is a thing easily corrupted. For example, Hitler came to power using it before installing himself dictator and damn near conquering the world. Islam is intolerant, yet if intolerance is tolerated, there will eventually be tolerance no more. It's a conundrum I tell ya!
well closer to topic anyway... you have to allow intolerant people their opinions, and even the right to meet and discuss them, or else it's just more of a slippery slope toward taking away all freedoms. still, it's when they try to actually form and execute a plan to take away others' freedom that it needs to be quashed. i know there's danger in allowing the intolerance in the first place, but like i said, where does it stop then?
i think so too, but the world's a dangerous place after all and if you try to stop anything dangerous before it even starts, you'll soon have no freedoms left at all
I lay it all out there then: It is evil to impede freewill, therefore any elements of Islam, Christianity, Judiasm, Hinduism, you, me, etc., that impedes must never be tolerated; ergo intolerance in all its forms should be wiped from the face of the earth.
Then let me ask you an honest question. Why would you want to allow anyone the ability to usurp the privelage that you have, based solely on luck, under the guise of power hungry and loaded terms, like equality? Practically speaking, you're living the dream. Do you really want it to change?
there's a difference between not tolerating something, and actually impeding it, at least the way i see it. allowing one group to go and publicly bitch about another group they hate isn't perfect, but deny them that and they may be more likely to actually act on that hate
Denying someone from publicly bitching about another group they hate is promoting impedance (evil) and should not be tolerated. Freedom of Speech Denying someone from acting on their hate is quashing impedance (evil). Freedom of Life
Sure. And thats why you give them concessions. shows like little house on the prairie is such a concession given to the minority in Canada. Just so they don't get pissed. And all the while, me .... and cate, the white dominant folk get to laugh at the poor muslims trying to fit in with other white folk in some buttfuck nowhere town. Odd, no?
i wouldn't want that. i also wouldn't want to completely deny them the freedom to talk about the fact that my group is still [basically] in power. if they actually make an effort to usurp my priveleges, that's when it's time to fight back
shows like that could also lead you to empathize with their problems, and maybe even do a bit to break down the hate. then again, you're right that we give concessions
Which is exactly why I think the show is racist and a product of the dominant hegemony of socialist Canada.
