the paradox of #tolerance, popper's warning, is now biting us in the ass
because for far too long we just let it slide
because it was too annoying to do anything about, it's just easier to make a judgment, and then... nothing
and now the bill comes due
you *have* to be intolerant of #intolerance. real consequences
or it grows
and now *we* are drowning in the inevitable consequences of our inaction, timidity, hesitance
@benroyce @ManyRoads @pa @genecowan @petergleick But I want to be lazy! Dont you get it. Having to get up and #vote once every couple of years and THEN see a bunch of monkeys jack off from the top position on down is... annoying. I just know I could do so much better than them but like, I'm lazy so nah.
I joke but only for like 97%
@thijsje @ManyRoads @pa @genecowan @petergleick
then you have the "i want perfect right now. and if i don't get it, i'm not voting for better, because it's not good enough"
in certain ways, such toxic idealism is worse than maga. maga is outright malice, you can fight that. what do you do about people who lack the ability to understand the stakes and wind up helping maga, against their own desires for their world?
"better is the enemy of perfect" is all too true for some fools in this world
