That is absolutely correct and that is the crime that we are experiencing today against fascism in the United States of America in the form of Maga which is now the party and not the Republican party
Not that this is relevant to the current political climate in some hypothetical neoliberal dystopia with an upcoming fascist president haha that would be crazy
Tolerance is a terrible word to use in these situations. Tolerance is what you build to poison. I do not tolerate folks different than me (like LGBTQI people). I accept them. I suspect tolerance was a Christian attitude. Sounds good, while you do wrong. Anyways...
Meaningless statement unless evil is defined. Consider what the white racist evangelical fake christian bigots consider evil, is not what the secular, or even the Bible supports.
Sometimes/often, it isn't what someone does or is that's evil, it is the treatment they receive that is the true evil?

This is my entire point. This is why I'm over & done with the establishment. I am no longer capable of defending electeds or the American justice system. The shameless tolerance of norm & law busting fostered the evil in our midst. Elites will be fine while common folk will suffer.
“Thomas Mann cuts to the core of morality. Tolerance, unchecked, can become the accomplice of harm, shielding evil under the guise of virtue. True justice isn’t passive—it’s discerning, active, and unafraid to confront what corrodes humanity. Tolerance ends where evil begins. 🔥 #MoralClarity”
So what is the crime? Tolerance in this context allows. Gives permission. Oks. Essentially what we have here is a subtle collusion. Thomas Mann discerned the hidden truth beneath meanings. Silence, saying nothing about a social evil, any evil, is giving away personal power to correct the evil.
These words may be true but it would take half the population on earth to create change and it won't happen any time soon.
There's plenty of people out there that can identify there's huge problems within society but no one can come to an agreement how to solve said problems. Almost poetic.
If I tolerate intolerance I play the fool.
Silence will not protect me.
Accommodation will not spare me
Complicity will not shield me

Yet we accept the right of various religions to practise discrimination against homosexuals and apostates, that somehow because they otherwise preach love and goodwill they are entitled to regard such outliers as sinners who can face exclusion or even death.
One of the most foolish concepts we can accept is that religion is the guardian of goodness. This is absolutely wrong and takes us out the right way to learn how to be good and its benefits.
Agreed & therefore there are authentic questions re specifically how to respond powerfully but without mistaking ignorance or misunderstanding for Evil since without needed information/insight reactions strongly tend to counter with Confirmation Bias & Self-Fulfilling Prophecy #PsychSciSky
The same applies to greed. Greed, especially unfettered greed, is recognized as a psychological pathology. It is openly encouraged in the US as the natural offspring of capitalism, and even lauded as monopolies and oligarchs reach celebrity status. Trickle-down economies only serve to inflame it.
Those who practice tolerance of others and differences are not intolerant because they do not tolerate the intolerant people. Hatred of others should not be tolerated. It is harmful. And harm is the very thing tolerance seeks to end.
We need to educate the left on the Paradox of Tolerance.
We need to wake up and silence intolerance not allow it on Television, in print, or at entertainment events. Our indifference or our willful capitulation to intolerance will destroy our nation.
A great line for anyone who praises the empty hollow vicious narcissist and nihilist who shot the CEO. Too bad he might get the death sentence. He should spend the rest of his life in prison. He'll be some dude's bitch and will be rushed to the emergency room to have his rectum repaired.
The FIRST question from
every reporter’s mouth and the leading story on EVERY news program needs to be “WHY IS ELON MUSK INVOLVED IN OUR GOVERNMENT?” You don’t ask that question, you normalize his behavior and contribute to the demise of our democracy.
I love Thomas Mann since the age of 14, when I read “Die Buddenbrooks” for the first time. Decades later I lived for nearly 20 years 300m from the Mann family home in Munich.
Not at all. I think the word is banded about far too readily without context. I ran a number of seminars on the subject over the last few years of my employment as an Associate Professor.
Tends to happen, but lately people get tied up in definitions rather than focusing on the facts, I’d venture that MOST people know evil when they see it. e.g. : genocide and Gaza, some spend hours discussing whether it is genocide or not, who cares? Still deeply disturbing and clearly “evil”.
Defining what is evil remains in play. The day trump was elected I was sent the statement, "Evil has been debited". Evidentally, to them Democrats are evil and Republicans represent goodness. When asked what is good about them, they responded with a list of their own personal deservedness.
““If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.”

I just want you to take a moment and look at this photo. I want you to see the fawning, the obsequious servility, the ingratiating yet self promoting narcissism of this poisonous toad and I want you to know what wickedness truly looks like so you will never mistake it again
How anyone can square the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth with voting for a man who is:
- a racist
- a fornicator
- a pedophile
- a rapist
- a constant liar
- a habitual divorcee
- sells religious paraphernalia for profit
- is unabashedly wealthy

Just like Mexico payed for the wall 🤔 beat Isis in 30 days, best healthcare in Two weeks #8 years ago.. Repeal and replaced 🤔
Absolutely correct. The only danger is the wide application of the latter during times of tribalism and strife. People tend to forget that there is a push/pull element to the oncoming of fascism and authoritarianism, and that broader inclusion of ideas is antithetical to anti-pluralism.
The paradox of tolerance disappears when you view tolerance as a social contract FIRST and a moral good SECOND.
Of course you don't have to tolerate those who cast vitriol upon the downtrodden, those who don't abide by a contract's terms aren't protected by them.
even Dr King who advocated for pacifism in most things said that during WW2 the threat posed by Nazis was so great that he would have fought. Even pacifism has its exceptions. We are in one.
Tolerance requires intolerance. We cannot tolerate evil acts, if we are going to tolerate the benign acts that stick to the various prickly parts of us, it is too much to handle; you must choose, and I choose to tolerate the benign so the evil has to go.
If we look at the paradox of tolerance not as a moral issue but as a social contract, then those who break this contract are no longer covered by it.
Citizens who refuse to tolerate, and also attack, fellow citizens should NOT be tolerated.
Tolerance should only really be applied to measurements pertaining to blueprints and design, not how we approach differences. Acceptance is what should be applied in these cases, which can be obtained through understanding.
⚠️ Amen!
Mann, From Nineteen Thirty:
💥"Fanaticism turns into a means of salvation, enthusiasm into epileptic ecstasy, politics becomes an opiate for the masses, a proletarian eschatology; & reason veils her face."
There are some absolutely basic, nearly universal principles that we can stand behind as a society without having to thread the needle of moral relativism. Modern conservativism lies in the opposition of even those basic ideas.
that way, you measure the "cost" of an action. For example, killing in self defense is "affordable" because an individual must protect one's own life, while homophobia (and the actions it causes) isn't as there is no real gain beyond the fixation of the homophobe on an inconsecuential way of life.
if a moral, regardless its intention, needlessly harms of demeans someone, then it's antiethical and not useful to real life. That's another aspect of Ethics; what are the motivations of a moral? are they for mere customary habit, personal reasons, or have a basis in the wellbeing of people?
That's what Ethics is for. To measure the practicity of morality based on the practical effects of acting in concequence and define if it's objectively useful or not. Think in morals as your theory, and ethics as the confirmation or refutal of said theory.
Tolerance and patience. As a Canadian we can seem polite and respectful of others that are different, opposite or simply weird. We may cover anger in a blanket of observations and humour, but when evil sneaks its ugly head, we also love to play whac-a-mole. State of CAN, USA, any country applies.
what we need to ask is how do we determine what is evil? that's a theological and philosophical question. What is good? what is evil? Before I agreed with someone's definition of "evil" I'd want to know what their rubric was. How do they determine what is good?
"Death in Venice" was one of my least favorite novels that I read in college. Kafka's work, "The Metamorphosis" was eye opening and I often thought about it years and years later after I read it.

Profits over Mercy.

It's completely inconsistent with Jesus's words.
