GreenShimadaIs this not a victim-blaming meme telling me to shut up and stay at home? The last domino is going to hit the rabbit.
I think itβs more something like if you donβt confront bigotry itβll grow and eventually crush you.
Sir. HaxalotYeah, my first thought was that itβs a reference to how facism has grown by allowing people to discuss it in anonymous echo chambers.
π¦πΊππ¦ππ₯ππππ£π ππ ππππThe irony of this being said on lemmy is pretty special
Youβre here. A fascist from a fascist server, interacting with the rest of us, how the fuck is this therefore an echo chamber?
Just because your dumb takes arenβt tolerated by the majority of Lemmy users doesnβt mean itβs an echo chamber.
In the context of news media and social media, an echo chamber is an environment or ecosystem in which participants encounter beliefs that amplify or reinforce their preexisting beliefs by communication and repetition inside a closed system and insulated from rebuttal.[2][3][4] The echo chambers function by circulating existing views without encountering opposing views, potentially leading to three cognitive biases
My instance is defederated from a lot of lemmy instances for having unpopular opinions. Ironically Iβm also banned for having an unpopular opinion on unpopular opinions. My takes sent tolerated and they are removed thus making the system insulated from rebuttal.
Defederating from known arseholes isnβt the same as a closed system with no means of rebuttal.
If a pub bars known trouble makers but still allows the general public in, then itβs still a pub, as opposed to a members club.
Depends how u define trouble maker. If u define trouble maker as starts physical altercations then sure thatβs fare. But much of lemmy seems to have defined trouble maker as anything further right than whoever happens to have the loudest voice at the current moment.
A trouble maker isnβt just someone who assaults people. A trouble maker is someone who insults other patrons, makes hateful remarks about or to them, or who acts as a sleaze making unwanted sexual advances. All of these things are reasonable to ban people for, to make a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for everybody else.
You clearly view yourself as a victim, which is just fucking pathetic considering the right is the dominant political stance around the world.
Quit being an insipid hateful toad and people will start tolerating you, engaging with you, and treating you with respect. Continue being one, and youβll just have to continue crying to yourself that nobody wants to talk to you and weβre all just a bunch of meanies.
As for your edit.
John Rawls, for instance, argued that a just society should generally tolerate the intolerant, reserving self-preservation actions for only when intolerance poses a concrete threat to liberty and stability.
Do the actions of the Republicans, ICE and CBP not constitute a concrete threat to liberty and stability? Does America look like a free and stable country to you? There are concentration camps, no due process, street executions without repercussion, mass protests, and threats of war upon neighbouring countries.
How to deal with the paradox of tolerance is therefore clear, no tolerance for the intolerant.
Ah, OK I see that. I thought it also looked a bit like it would apply to the downward slope of social media and polarization of everyone into hate-filled groups where βno one is wrong.β
Thanks for explaining your perspective!
