Are you tolerant? You probably think so. But who is tolerant in America today? Is it those on the left, or those on the right? In this video, Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report analyzes this question and shares his experience. https://www.prageru.com/videos/so-you-think-youre-tolerant
>Prager U Nice try OP
I know. It’s not HuffPo or CNN.
^ At least they don’t call itself an U to hustle the poorly educated
Tldr: the right is soooo inclusive. I don't think there really is solid left/right for individuals tho. And he's using vague categories of people with his anecdotal evidence to make a claim he can pretend to be taking one for the team, by telling his fellow nebulous left that the right has nicer people. In my experience (ha, anecdotal of course) it depends on waaaay more factors that just left/right, and the only real way to set up a solid comparison would include what a person meant by saying they were left/right, or looking at policies. It also has no real meaning if they welcome open-mindedness while abiding to oppressive or prejudiced policies (ie: "I value your opinion, but I'd really like to kill you," doesn't count as open-mindedness). Edit: forgot that damn closing symbol :P
Being tolerant of people's views means not creating laws that force them to behave in a certain way. e.g. the right is not tolerant of abortion, not tolerant of letting people choose to use drugs, not tolerant of letting people marry whoever they want, not tolerant of black people having BBQs and pool parties, etc. The evidence is pretty clear here. If the right really is that tolerant, then the GOP has lost pretty much all of their talking points of their platform. (Except for financial responsibility, but we already know they don't actually care about being financially responsible as evidenced by them continuing to spend more and more on the military while still cutting taxes for the ridiculously wealthy.)
Dave Rubin is a gay man who supports gay marriage.
This isn't about Dave Rubin, this is about the right as a whole and the GOP politicians whom the right has elected as their spokespeople. If you are really for tolerance, you wouldn't vote for the majority of Republican politicians or policies.
Saw company name. Knew what the post would be. You can keep changing your name but if you always post the same things it’s gonna be obvious.
Got it. Maintain ideological echo chamber. Isn’t Google getting sued for that?
Google got sued once for not saying that a random homeless guy in Seattle was the creator of the moon.
The irony of people on the left dismissing this video without giving any thought to its content.... just proving the OP’s point.
If it’s not from buzzfeed then it doesn’t fit my political agenda and I’m triggered
"Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty. Tolerance is a social norm because it allows different people to live side-by-side without being at each other’s throats. It means that we accept that people may be different from us, in their customs, in their behavior, in their dress, in their sex lives, and that if this doesn’t directly affect our lives, it is none of our business. But the model of a peace treaty differs from the model of a moral precept in one simple way: the protection of a peace treaty only extends to those willing to abide by its terms. It is an agreement to live in peace, not an agreement to be peaceful no matter the conduct of others. Prejudice against Nazis is not the same as prejudice against Blacks, because one is based on people’s stated opposition to their neighbors’ lives and safety, the other on a characteristic that has nothing to do with whether they’ll live in peace with you or not. Freedom of religion means that people have the right to have their own beliefs, but you have that same right; you are under no duty to tolerate an attempt to impose someone else’s religious laws on you." https://extranewsfeed.com/tolerance-is-not-a-moral-precept-1af7007d6376?source=linkShare-344ff6d684ab-1531178936
It seems that the only thing the right is tolerant of is sexual harassment by their politicians and Fox News talking heads.
Think that is more folks on the left: Slick Willie Clinton, Harvey Weinstein, Matt Laufer, and more.
Haven’t watched it yet, but judging from the title and producer, I’m guessing the video is going to talk about tolerating the intolerant. Sorry, that’s not going to work.
Do you have a problem with gay people?
Ok, I just found the time to watch it. The thing is, your behavior in this thread is the exact thing that disproves what Rubin is trying to disprove. I agree with what Rubin says only on the surface level on what those word means: “people should be tolerant of other people’s life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” Unless, of course, that your pursuit of happiness has caused my grief. Take for example that conservatives likes guns. But the same policy that gives them guns also gives people legal access to weapons that puts my child in danger. That same policy just put my child’s life in danger just for you to pursuit happiness. I believes in clean air. This is my life. I need the government to protect my clean air as I don’t have that power as an individual. But right wingers dislike regulation. Their pursuit of $$happiness$$ just puts my life in danger. I cannot tolerate you putting your happiness above my life. Isn’t slavery about the same idea? White people’s happiness built on top of black people’s life?
