If real bigots were as eloquent with their words as Dukat, we might have a problem. Thankfully, none of them seemed to have that kind of charisma since Hitler killed himself.
No we wouldn’t because the solution to the paradox of tolerance is that you can’t be tolerant of intolerance. It’s a social contract, if one party breaks it, the contract is broken.
It’s not a contract, because the parties involved didn’t all get a chance to agree to it before hand.
The best way to eliminate bigotry, is with unearned compassion. It’s certainly more difficult. But it is the highest moral ideal.
Eh…
This might work at a micro, local scale. But it does not work nationally or even regionally.
One side is rabidly homicidal, public stating they’ll kill people who are different from them.
You simply can’t love these people to death. Because they will continue to kill while you reason with them.
Absolutely. Go tell all those gay and trans people that they should’ve showed their murderers more compassion.
I’m not saying that what you suggest is impossible, but it’s idealistic and naïve.
It’s not a contract, because the parties involved didn’t all get a chance to agree to it before hand.
Everyone gets automatic entry and can leave any time they want. If they decide they don’t agree to it there’s nothing keeping them from shrugging off the good graces of society. I think that’s pretty fair.
Dismissing them like this isn’t very smart either. There are plenty of smart racists, those who understand how to instrumentalize it to rally the angry mob around their own goals by sprinkling some xenophobia on top. Those who successfully push ultra capitalist legislation against the direct interests of their constituents, just because it hurts the brown people too.
fight hate with love
enslaves whole planet
Yes, but he loved that planet with all his heart. It tore him up inside to do all that torturing and murdering. Just a big ole’ softy that Dukat.
I feel like the Internet is full of people who think they’re Kira but are in reality the useful idiots Kai Winn leverages to gain power.
Well yeah as it should be when applied carefully: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
