What about my position is intolerant?

I am advocating that the expression of all views, comments, opinions, and yes even lies should be tolerated ((by either side if that needs to be stated). The person hearing them can sort out what to believe or not believe or to investigate further. Any other solution requires a Ministry of Truth which I claim is more dangerous than any lie.

Anyway, I will vote based on my own views and not be ruled by a paradox. Am I allowed to say that?


Wow. His response was...epic. Though not in the way he thinks it was.

When a society allows a privileged view to outlaw everything deemed "intolerant" then pretty soon a small number of people will vie for control over who gets to define what "tolerant" is...and at that point you live in a world where speech must be approved or is proactively censored...presumably with consequences for offenders.

Once you've reached that point, you don't live in a free society. You live in an authoritarian, oppressive state. That's not what we have here.

This notion of "tolerance" being swamped out by "intolerance" is a laugh riot given that the main purveyors of Cancel Culture are the people who cry about "tolerance" the most.
