#ToleranceParadox. The line to draw (for me) are signs of intolerance to people who are different (opinion, gender, colour)

@idoubtit Some will give him a pass because he's mentally ill - but don't most Nazis & fascists have an diagnosable syndrome?
#ToleranceParadox
More relevant than ever.

@ErikUden If one ever needed a clear example what it means to ignore the #ToleranceParadox - watch the U.S.A. now.
He’d recently reminded readers of his newsletter that they weren’t powerless in the face of Hammer and his ilk. “We CAN fight fascists without fisticuffs or violence. Voting, and encouraging other non-chuds to vote, is an important first step,” he wrote. “So is keeping an eye on your local polling place on election day. Maybe even sticking around after the polls close to watch the vote counting—and democracy—in action. Hopefully, though, you’ll want to do more, before votes are cast, to ensure your candidates for the Legislature, school board and other municipal offices aren’t chuds, chud-adjacent or chud-sympathetic.”
This shouldn’t be construed as antifascist violence being entirely off limits. Part of this nazi’s eviction from the area involved elderly veterans literally threatening to murder him.
It’s alright (good, even!) to abhor violence, but dangerous to pretend it’s never appropriate or necessary.

Information about Hammer made its way to Augusta, Maine’s capital, where Joe Baldacci, a state senator from Bangor, voiced his concern. “It’s time for the Governor, the Attorney General of Maine, the Penobscot County District Attorney and the U.S. Attorney [to] work on shutting these Nazis down and sending this guy back to Texas,” he posted online in early August 2023. Soon lawmakers were drafting a bill to ban paramilitary camps like the one Hammer was trying to establish, and to make it a criminal offense to offer training in firearms, explosives, or other tactics with the intent of causing a “civil disorder.”
In one fell swoop, state actors consistently manage to lend credence to fascists’ incessant bad faith talking points about “censorship”; while also introducing new, unnecessary legal tools which, given the obvious political sympathies of US law enforcement, will definitely be used to target antifascists to a much greater & more aggressive extent.

most “wignats” are cowardly little secret nazi shitposters who think they’re funnier than they are, and who wouldn’t dare risk a fight, much less their comfy computer jobs. https://infosec.exchange/@risibledog/113407750175195693

Hammer had written in a Telegram message, where he also referred to his site as a bootcamp. “We are working until dusk on the camp seeing exciting results as it comes together. This is where we will turn regular wignats into pure distilled Aryan violence.” (Wignats is a term for white nationalists willing to wear Nazi insignia and to commit street violence.)
that’s not really correct. “wignat” is (unfortunately) “wigger nationalist” and it was a moniker adopted by alt right internet nazis (mostly from the Daily Stormer) who didn’t concern themselves with propriety or the “optics wars”. basically a designation these losers took on so they could make naughty tasteless jokes online and criticize the alt right’s version of “respectability politics” which they felt limited their movement.

According to Zac Chickering, some Springfield residents were more aggressively intolerant than others and went straight to the source of the problem. “We have a bunch of 80-year-old men that went up to that dickhead’s face and threatened to backhoe his body into a grave. And that’s nothin’. That’s just the flake on the potato plate,” Chickering told me. When Hammer started handing out pamphlets promoting his views, residents told him, as Chickering put it, that “nobody gives a thin shit what you think.”

Reverend Will used Hammer to illustrate his point that, by accepting all types and all sides, whatever our intentions in doing so, we give oxygen to those who would cause irreparable damage to our polity and civil society. “We should be very concerned about a neo-Nazi training camp in our neighborhood,” Reverend Will said from the pulpit on a cool morning. Even if Hammer was exercising his constitutional rights to free speech and privacy, even if he had committed no crime, constructive intervention was still possible. “Rather than hiding behind tolerance, we should do the hard work of helpfully intervening for the sake of our community,” Reverend Will continued. “That requires both spiritual self-examination and social, political engagement. It isn’t spiritual to rise above it. Instead, our spirituality should equip us to get down to it.”

In the past two weeks, I’ve had several disturbing conversations with people who think of themselves as leftist or progressive, but who cannot or will not bring themselves to reject hate speech against #queer humans like me and those I love.

UK Government and Media seem to be offering “fix the internet” as only suggestion to fight far-right extremism, while failing to acknowledge the racism and Islamophobia at its core. #UKRiots #ToleranceParadox
There are literally just 3 tiny steps, from being a free-speech-misunderstander, over defending nazi ideology in the name of free speech, over crying "woke cancel culture", to being a nazi.
Some people walk these steps within one sentence.

Genau, kein #bothsidesism- Schrott in Deutschland.
Oder mehr für die Oberstufenschüler mit #KarlPopper's #ToleranceParadox:
"If we extend unlimited #tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the #intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."

There are a lot of media I don’t consume because they contain stuff my progressive values can’t abide; but I don’t go on SM complaining about it. (Hey, it’s a free country (at least for the moment). If you want to be a selfish bigoted misogynistic asshole, that’s your right.)
I think other progressives tend to be like this, too. It’s the contrast between “Live & Let Live” & “Live & Kill Everything You Can’t Terrorize &/or Exploit.”
