people who are polarized don’t see it that way. they only care about your agreement or using violence if you disagree.

lemmy has a ton of users who openly advocate for violence against those they disagree with. but if you ask them if they apply that standard of themselves, they say start telling you that’s the ‘paradox of tolerance.’ because you know their opinions are totally good if they are intolerance of the intolerance! but they themselves should be tolerated! or something. it’s pure insanity.

everyone wants to be the perpetrator of violence, but never the victim…
