#tolerance is a social contract

[chrispineofficial]

i don’t know why i’m consistently surprised by how many of the users on this website don’t know how to be a person. like “haha it’s so cute and fun we’re all so neuroSPICY” girl you still have to be a person. you still have to learn how to Be A Person you have to learn how to be normal around other people for the love of god is this thing on you still have to commit to basic social contracts and that’s a good thing

"In order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance." This is the so-called tolerance paradox of the philosopher Karl Popper. In other words, when a tolerant society tolerates intolerant worldviews, that is not just the end of tolerance. Ultimately it's the end of this society...

The Paradox of Tolerance rethought

[czedwardsblog]

Found on Masto, permission granted by creator ZhiZhu@newsie.social, inspired by Zunger’s concept that tolerance is a peace treaty that cannot apply to those who refuse to abide by the treaty.

The Beijing court supported Ms. Gao on two counts and ruled that Dangdang should continue to honour her original contract of employment. In addition, the court said Dangdang should pay her salary from the date she applied for sick leave to the date of arbitration

The Beijing No 2 Intermediate People’s Court went on to state that “social tolerance is a blessing of the rule of law” and highlighted the need to “respect diverse ways of living and protect the dignity of transgender people.”

Not exclusionary nor inclusionary but a secret third thing (understanding that most things are not universally good nor universally bad)

"feeling bad" is not a get-out-of-jail-free card: "this is not an appropriate way to behave, even if you feel bad" can be a legitimate piece of feedback in a lot of cases

but it seems kind of harsh to respond to someone's description of the ways or reasons they feel bad with "skill issue. stop feeling like that" has telling someone to not feel a certain way ever worked in human history?

"you should stop engaging in X behaviour" or "you should consider aspect Y" just seem more achievable to me than "stop feeling Z" but idk

The paradox of tolerance is only a paradox if you think of tolerance as some sacred and unconditional moral duty. Some ultimate and absolute law with no exceptions, and if you ever slip into the sin of intolerance, you must repent yourself and beg for forgiveness. Yeah no fuck that. Tolerance is a social contract. You're in the game as an equal player for as long as you play by the same rules as everyone else, and if you don't, your ass is fucking out. You're not entitled to the same respect you won't give others.

"Oh so you all tolerate each other just because you tolerate each other, but if I want to destroy you, then all of a sudden you want to destroy me?" Literally yes. That's the gist of it. What's not clicking. This equation is so simple it barely counts as math.

why the fuck does this image keep being posted as a cogent refutation of the paradox of tolerance. "this discussion is actually very simple if you'd just appeal to the clearly uncontestable & material concept of the Social Contract, which exists"

Being his little puppy pet wasn't nothing short of humiliating - thankfully, your cute puppy brain can't quite register that. And even if you did feel humiliated by his constant condescension, it's not like you could do anything about it. Good girls should stay in their line, let their masters pet their heads and scratch their ears if they are good. Oh, and you want to be good, don't you? Running around him in laps, tailing him like a pup you are. If he kills a traitor in the ranks, you're right here to hug him right after. If he is on the hunt for humans, you run behind him, so loud and adorable, even the human resistance can't help but want to take a piece of you - and blow their covers, letting them strike. If he just wants to relax and drink something while doing the endless reports on the state of the latest contracts, you'd be right here, on his lap, with your warm pussy enveloping his cock. He was always so adorable - he never wanted a secretary or an assistant, thinking that having to perform yet another social interaction would be too straining, but here he is, with an adorable puppy girl warming his cock and yapping about some cool stuff she saw. You're quite the pair - with your sheer excitement at the world around you, you easily fill the empty air with conversations, letting him just be his gloomy self without any distractions. He hates meaningless chatter - but he can tolerate it as long as your pretty pussy is squeezing his cock and your tummy is filled with his eggs. Of course, as his excited assistant puppy, sometimes he has to punish you, too - usually because you chronically can't follow orders and often end up in dangerous situations because you just can't leave him alone for his missions. He hates seeing you getting harmed, so, of course, he is going to be really mad about the whole being an independent thing - and you should be ready to present your ass for him while he spanks you and tugs on your tail like you're a disobedient pup who really needs her double breeding session. Maybe you'd be a good girl and actually stay in one place after he fucked you so good you couldn't continue to be a dumb chaos bringer...although konig does appreciates your chaotic side - as long as he can continue to keep you on the leash and pet your ears.
