I'm asking you if you understand if what you in particular are saying is, by it's nature, a contradiction. You were never tolerant from the start, and never really pretended to be. You just think you have labels that magically confer this value on you without having to do the work.
You don't represent the Left as a whole. But you're picking up a lot of cues with Left-leanimg terminology that create a dogmatic point of view, regardless of the left/right side of things.
Friendo, I'm happy to hear your thoughts on this, as it adds to my understanding of a diverse range of points of view. Tell me more.
Your logic is bullshit, you are a "clever" one. You know that quote about antisemetism and valuing the meaning of words? That's about you. Logical fallacy and dissociation are all you have to offer the conversation. You wouldn't discern good faith if it was hanging from your fucking nuts.
They talk big words and say nothing. It's an argument method where they attempt to look good/smart and goad other people into looking angry. In this particular case, they want you to reply angrily and say "Look how intolerant they are to me, and I was just pointing out how intolerant they really were!"
He asks what "specifically" bullshit is. He wants me to waste my time reiterating and arguing against his words which already mean nothing.
If you tolerate intolerance, there is no tolerance. This guy is a fascist through and through, and you are exactly right. I just pointed out what is obvious, and to further engage would be validation for him.
What specifically is bullshit?
What is the logical fallacy?
Without actual details, it's hard to see this as anything more than just a lazy personal attack.
