Reposting and pinning this for reasons.

Whenever anyone brings up the "paradox of intolerance", I bring up this meme which eliminates the paradox entirely:

The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.

If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it.

In other words: the intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.

Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

I think the amount of coverage given to it is gender coded because men being assholes isn't news to anyone.

As for the criticism coming her way from a lot of us? This stuff is only the tip of the iceberg with her. She lied about Maxine Waters and a committee assignment to the press, for example.

Oh the morning is going to be rough for her!

Indeed! 😂

I was just thinking about her the other day 💔😭

Just Peachy @peachyinnj.bsky.social · 11h

The only reason I know how to say it is because when I first met my husband, he was living in Worcester.

And white women are going to be insufferable about her, just like they were about her mentor.

This is the solution to “prime day.” Nothing for Bezos. Support your local bookstores while buying online!

Oh, Anna 💔 I am so very sorry.

This is undeniably bad, but it's also completely unsurprising if you've been listening to Black women.

Just Peachy @peachyinnj.bsky.social · 15h

You know who has been telling us about her from the beginning? Black women.

I was thinking about the nature of the jealousy... how the various immigrant groups have traded their own ethnic community identity for assimilation into white hegemony, leaving them feeling adrift and moorless.

The loneliness epidemic is rooted in racism.

More of this please!

A bright spot from a friend in Philly:
"The Proud Boys - a white supremacist group with a
stupid name - planned a rally a block from my house
today. The "belly of the beast" rally. Because apparently
that's where I live - the belly of the antifa beast. Whatever
the fuck that means.
2 hours before it was supposed to start, the park starts
filling up with my neighbors. A drum line shows up. A
brass band plays. The anarchists are giving away
vegetables and nachos and some artists are selling
jewelry. Black leaders give speeches. We chant Breonna
Taylor's name. And all the other names.
No right-wing rally every coalesces. There was never
room for a critical mass to congregate. A lost-looking
man or two walks to the park, doesn't see their people,
turns around. A right-wing vlogger trying to debate people
is surrounded and walked to the edge of the park.
Someone spotted with a handgun is chased through the
park, to their car, by over 100 people. The ice cream truck
music plays the whole time.
The usual guys sets their chess tables and start playing,
the crowd of neighbors start to break up.
Nazis, we will replace you. We will displace you. We will
louder and more numerous. We anti-fascists are full of
music and love and nachos. We will always replace you."

These same people thought that Pete working for McKinsey was horrendous, but they are coming up with rationales to handwave this away?

Absolutely unserious people.

1. Black people cannot be racist because they lack the collective institutional power to create systems of racism.

2. In America, Blackness isn’t just about race, it’s about culture. Irish or Italian Americans wanting their own space wouldn’t upset you in the same way.

3. Mentally unstable?
