The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance. (Karl Popper 1945) @mcuban.bsky.social - ThreadSky

Why are Trump supporters not wanted ? You dont have to follow them. You can block them. You can filter words. Don’t you want @bsky.app to have all perspectives ? I certainly do.

As long as it’s civil. Why not welcome different viewpoints ?

I’m a fan @mcuban.bsky.social, though I think you’re asking a question you know the answer to. I am fine with ppl who don’t agree with me, who I can still have an intelligent convo with and agree to disagree.That is not maga.I think you’re confusing free speech with tolerance.

jimraff.bsky.social•52 days ago

Tolerance is a social contract. Tolerance must be given and received. Racism, misogyny, anti-lgbtq, antisemitism all break that contract.

nikkireale.bsky.social•45 days ago

I'm OK with different viewpoints, but so often Trump fans believe that if they bully, browbeat, and vilify me long enough, I will agree with them, or at least crawl off in humiliation. It's hard to take.

fiercelady.bsky.social•46 days ago

Different’s. Ok . Lies are another

clariceik.bsky.social•45 days ago

That’s my answer to him and anyone. I’ve tried - as I always tried to see if there was anything I could look at differently- but even post mind check decades of fact- that I watched happen can never make me think anything the believe is valid

clariceik.bsky.social•45 days ago

And- if any come in there is risk of more without any agenda but to collect enemies of TFG- in case freed 1/6 cons, or Patel becoming fbi chief. Distinct possibilities since they’ve declared this intent already.

clariceik.bsky.social•45 days ago

I’ve never been able to have a whole conversation with maga- because their views are more like faith, and can’t be convinced with evidentiary facts. I cannot deal with it. Any more ever

That’s a disappointing comment from you Mark Cuban. I expect better of you.

You can’t use civil and Trump in the same paragraph, it doesn’t flow

jodamama.bsky.social•49 days ago

Beat me to it.

youtwitface.bsky.social•20 days ago

Is it ever civil? REALLY, Mark?

chollapatch.bsky.social•52 days ago

MAGA, aka Republicans, view point is fear and hate. Thanks , but no thanks.

kathleencross1.bsky.social•59 days ago

They are too angry, racist and closed minded.

Cuban reveals himself as a closet Quisling.

I never thought he was for real, but I know a lot of you did. Maybe still do.

Wake up. The rich are NEVER on your side.

I first read Popper's observation several years ago. It's stuck with me ever since.

calvinbrooksblue.bsky.social•45 days ago

Block all MAGA send them back to Trump Social, X or Zuck Threads

paratrooper957.bsky.social•45 days ago

They have sold their souls for a hateful attitude of intolerance that why!!!

looselucy.bsky.social•42 days ago

Viewpoints? Viewpoints assume rational debate. Those people abused us. They are incapable of reason because they are in a cult. Once they repent for wanting me and anyone else who voted for democracy dead I'll be happy to talk.

1freeelf.bsky.social•42 days ago

Exactly!!

blue-fire1.bsky.social•49 days ago

Love what you said. Yes!!

harry1724.bsky.social•57 days ago

Beautifully stated. Oh, just realized that you attributed the quote to Karl Popper. Thanks for sharing it though. I think this was the very first social paradox of which I became aware when I was just a kid. Still no satisfactory solution.

suenosdeuomi.bsky.social•54 days ago

I been suspecting for a while now of having been too tolerant. Especially in regard to christianity.

waitingforgodot.bsky.social•54 days ago

Yes! Tolerance of the intolerant is a recipe for disaster, as history shows!

rozzischumann.bsky.social•59 days ago

I agree completely, sorry Mark, your a good guy ,hope they don't turn youk.

oldliberalfart.bsky.social•44 days ago

I am open to different opinions, but most of these MAGAs are just trolls. Just wanting to argue. Not making any point except their guy won. That's not a position I support nor will engage.

churlayla.bsky.social•45 days ago

They broke the social contract. Fuk 'em

Life is too short to waste it on liars.

drjaya.bsky.social•45 days ago

When you have a viewpoint that has no substance, no higher education, no scientific evidence, believes in conspiracy theories, are intolerant to others viewpoints, are just plain intolerant ... well, why bother?

primosecundo.bsky.social•59 days ago

I love Beckett! And your thoughts here are crystal perfect...!💙
