Paradox of tolerance

Yeah but where the hell are we defending Nazis here LOL

[–] Nobsi@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We aren't, Tankies are. That's what the comment says.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now that makes sense

I'm sure I'm not the only who read the patent comment as a comment directed at us rather than tankies

After commenting this i realised lots of people didnt see it. It was obvious to me. dunno.

This isn't intended to be antagonistic, even though I know it seems that way in text, but do you have any links to examples of tankies defending nazis? I'm just curious to see it.

If anything, on hexbear as an example, I see them claiming most everyone they don't like is/is friends with nazis. They seem to use hatred of nazis as an excuse for supporting some really fucked up shit.

No, Tankies don't defend Nazis. Tankies depend on everyone just blindly accepting a wrong definition of free speech.
Tankies claim censorship whenever someone critizises them just like nazis and altrights do.

While this is not directly defending nazis, this is trying to make tolerance of intolerance to be universally accepted and thus helps nazis to also use intolerance freely because silencing harmful speech will be seen as "censorship"
