A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).

- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The right! Leaving people alone! Lol! Lefties want "treat every one well" and the right passes law after law removing rights from specific lists of people, starting with those they seem as politically weakest (trans, gay, poor, black). The party of "small government" sure wants a lot of social control laws.
And yes explicitly, lefties want to remove any "right" to treat people "you don't categorically like" badly.
Fuck the right wing, seriously wtf.
Stop being mean to everyone. Then no one would care about you at all.
Let's also not forget that the hate is justified and amplified by their religion.
well the right thinks anything that makes you not exactly like them is a crime. Including thinking and having different opinions and ideas. Therefore they do adhere?
I think you might be leaning towards the paradox of intolerance and the recent solution for it which has become very popular.
This philosophical concept seems paradoxical but actually it's been solved via another philosophical concept. The social contract. Hate speech in almost every instance violates the social contract thus putting those who engage in it in violation of the social contract. It is not being intolerant at that juncture to remove that person from society. It is not intolerance but a violation of contractual obligation.
And funnily enough, these bigots nearly always hail from "the land of the free". Where "free" apparently only applies to their own ability to freely attack others and try restrict their freedom.
