@cereal the Paradox of Tolerance is a fallacy. A tolerant society allows (tolerates) non-coercive actions, and forbids coercive ones (violence, direct threats of violence, fraud).

"The Paradox of Tolerance" is a bad excuse used to label a non-coercive action as "intolerant" (like having the wrong opinions) to justify using coercive action (violence) to be intolerant toward it, to supposedly protect tolerance from intolerance.

The two fatal problems with the concept:

1) what is intolerant is subjective, allowing anyone at anytime to be labeled intolerant.
2) it escalates from non-violence to violence, and the most intolerant one wins in a "might makes right" kind of way.

It's as fucked up of a concept as "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences". It's an axiom, that if followed by all, would result in the most intolerant society possible.

Apparently, Tusky merged their blacklist for Gab today. So I feel it's time for another part in my little series:

I have pirated movies, television shows, books, software, technical specification... but I never pirated life. I am now tempted to clone the Blueberry plant that I bought.

"Thing is, web developers don’t believe in performance. They say they do, but in reality, they don’t. What they believe in is hype."

A bit harsh, but I can't disagree.

Also: "Think about it: web, in general, failed to be fast, so Google invents a parallel web where they simply don’t let you use JavaScript."

The only people who I see defend free speech online are those who defend white supremacists.

Just FYI I have not done any more work for Purism since Todd told me the decision to not moderate Librem Social was final. I've already seen some alt right personalities on there and that's not fine with me.

@ChristianAnarchist@liberdon.com you should start hashtagging so it's easier to find these posts
