Karl Popper’s paradox of intolerance is about how we can’t tolerate intolerance in society.

It isn’t a cloak for you to wear when you want to be intolerant and feel justified. Nor is it a proscription to dehumanize and celebrate suffering.

Those are the actions of the intolerant, which we will not tolerate here.

Similarly, it’s fine for those who want others to suffer, to suffer themselves.

The irony.

So you mean people like OP? You?

Don’t confuse feeling outraged or righteous for an actual moral high ground.

The topic was illegal procedures, the person I replied to was comparing a vasectomy to abortion by asking which states it is illegal in.

The comparison isn’t valid. A vasectomy isn’t remotely the same procedure as an abortion.

Well I don’t know

You could check before posting so that you would know.

If you did, you would find out that there are 0 states in the United States where either tubal ligation or vasectomies are illegal.

I do agree that the access to care situation is shit and caused by sexist lawmakers and doctors.

But, just because you agree with someone, doesn’t mean you can’t tell them that they’re making irrational arguments. If people want to continue to push for change, it’s important that everyone is capable of understanding the issues and know how to argue them effectively.

Making outrage baiting statements are good for social media engagement, but they’re antithetical to convincing people to change.

Hey, asshole, not everyone who lives in a rural area and is poor is a Trump supporter. Nor, would being a Trump supporter mean that it's okay to let them freeze or cheer at other people suffering. You're engaging in exactly the same toxic dehumanization as the MAGA crowd.

If you think rural voters are your enemy or the source of our problems, then you're woefully ignorant about the current political situation or how political influence works.

You're very much right to be angry, but make sure you know where that anger should be directed before making outrage bait posts like this.

I don't know.

Which world is a vasectomy and tubal ligation the same as an abortion? Because that was the comment that I responded to.

Which state is it illegal to get a tubal ligation?

How about a magic trick? I'm gonna make this pencil disappear.

It does lead to some interesting sentences when combined with other kernel terms:

Generally killing the parent also kills the child.

Once you've leveled up and had Arch Linux installed for 1 years (in Unix time) you'll be sent a jar of Ovaltine and the secret decoder ring which reveals the secrets.
