What if their beliefs incite violence towards people that are deemed inferior? There aren't many choices left besides violence at that point. There's no such thing as 'tolerating the intolerant' without getting eradicated because the intolerant (read: white supremacists) are playing with a different set of rules. Pacifism is a privilege

this isn't complicated.
if people are inciting violence, that's one thing. but if anybody is suggesting that was going on, that's the first I've heard of it.
most cultures think that their own way of doing things and of being a human being is better.
and people usually prefer the company of those who are culturally and ethnically similar to themselves.
this is normal.
simply wanting to associate with people who are ethnically similar to yourself is NOT inherently violent and is NOT "inciting violence."
This is ahistorical because
- not all cultures are chauvinistic towards people outside of their communities
- this tendency of ethnic affiliation when it centers "whiteness" results in ostracization of people deemed to be the outgroup and the erection of caste systems. See: the Transatlantic Slave Trade of America and its ongoing consequences
- the only purpose that race serves is to confiscate resources, period. Outside of being a social construct, race is not real
As they say on these relays, DYOR
"Believing a certain thing inevitably leads to violence" say the people who believe violence is warranted against someone for believing a thing.
I wonder if they realize the paradox of tolerance applies to them too.
Bro you don't give a shit about violence, why are you bringing it up? If no violence was committed by anyone would it suddenly be perfectly acceptable for someone to hold these beliefs? Please answer, I want to know what you think.
I don't engage with people who lead with bad faith statements. There are plenty of other Nostriches you can ragefarm
