  • There’s no paradox. Although, Karl Popper’s words are as good as any.

    My point is, no one said “the left have to tolerate everything.” In fact, not tolerating capitalism is the defining feature of all left leaning ideologies. More so, where you are on the scale of leftism is based almost entirely on the extent to which you won’t tolerate capitalism. Rhetorically, for what possible reason would the left ever have to tolerate nazis, in the first place? Who said they did? Where are they? Of course, no one said they did.

    I found it’s best to, rightly, just reject the false premise of it being a paradox out of hand. The type who use it know its BS too.



  • Your viking analogy is bizzare. Not that many people know that vikings didn’t actually wear anything like that in battle, unlike how everyone knows Jesus was a homeless middle Eastern man and, depsite this, continue to draw him as northern European. More so, vikings are known for wearing those helmets. Jesus isn’t known for being a white man. Why? Because Jesus wasn’t white man and isn’t know for it.

    Youre really starting from where you want to end up and working your way back. Theres no cogent justification for it, as much I enjoy people trying to sell me an appeal to tradition, with extra steps.

    Lol, its not that I didn’t understand or that I missed it. It’s that I disagree that its a cogent reason.

    When I was young, I used to draw pictures of people with stick bodies and round heads. They were also often bright or powder pink in colour. I propagated the shit out of that too.

    Then, when I found out that wasn’t the correct way to draw people or the natural colour of human skin, I stopped drawing them and colouring quite so comedically ridiculous.

    Why can’t the people who draw Jesus manage this?





  • Not outside America or Israel it isn’t.

    Want to really show their hypocrisy, the UK has been in Ireland longer than white people have been in the US. I mean, what my country did in Ireland is foul and I think Irish people should have every right to choose their own future but the point still stands. Some Americans will call it imperialism, without a hint of irony or self awareness.

    Socialism was made under capitalism.

    Using the same logic, that would make socialism powered by capitalism. Well, that, climate breakdown and school shootings: all powered by capitalism.

    Edit: clearly were only allowed to use that “logic” on things that people believe will make capitalism look good.

    What. A. Surprise…
