    defend

    No, I am not defending anyone or anything.

    It is the easiest thing to give freedom and equality to those we like. It’s much, much harder to give freedom and equality to those we don’t like.

      Yes you are defending it, by saying it’s okay.

      You should look up the tolerance paradox.

      Tl;Dr the ONE thing a tolerant society must be intolerant of is intolerance itself.

      I don’t care about your opinions on a lot of things. But intolerance of people for inherit traits is the one thing I don’t stand for.

        Nope. Does he not have the right to be an alt-right piece of shit? I’m not sure what country you are a citizen of, but in my country, you most certainly have the right to be an alt-right piece of shit. Oh, and yes I’m very familiar with the tolerance paradox.

          Is your country also having a fascist problem?

          Because those two things seems to be correlated.

          Where I’m from hate speech is (rightly) a crime. Because calling for the death (of let’s make an example of my trans siblings) of a people is still violence.

            Ok this has been carried far too long, so I’ll digress the conversation. I do wish that one day very soon, being LGBTQ+ will br as boring as being hetero.
