Paradox of tolerance
(lemmy.world)
Wiki - The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually ceased or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.
The problem is that people label everything and everyone "Nazi" or "fascist" these days and with that they justify not tolerating any type of experience or opinion they find uncomfortable.
This leads to basically ignoring a whole bunch of people. But their problems won't stop simply because you ignore them. Instead you now have people who were on the verge to vote right wing, now definitely voting right wing because they feel the left ignores their problems (which is true).
But the right's problems are things like "black people exist" or "trans people exist", or really just a bunch of variants of that for different people they hate. The Nazi comparison isn't invalid, and there's absolutely no reason for the left to entertain their problems as legitimate.
You just generalized a huge side of the political spectrum as simple minded racists. Then you said that for that reason, their problems don't matter.
Don't you see a problem with that?
Their problems are self inflicted, there's a difference.
