minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·6 hours ago Othering seems like a kinda Nazi thing to do… It’s what they deserve. Tolerance is a social contract, not a “paradox.” You reject it, you’re not protected by it anymore.
minus-squareFishFace@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 hours agoNo-one is asking you to tolerate Nazism. You can resist it without pretending that Nazis are inhuman. It’s dangerous in two ways: Nazis are inhuman, and my friend Jim is human so he can’t be a Nazi. Nazis are inhuman, you have something in common with Nazis, so you’re not human.

minus-squarenaught101@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·5 hours agoI agree that it’s a contact. But Nazism is a ideology that any human can hold, and that any human can stop holding. (if they refuse to stop holding it, then go nuts).
