There’s a substantial difference between intolerance and oppression.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 month ago (4 children)

What are the most important differences?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Oppression implies that there is an oppressor with some sort of power or control over the other party.

Intolerance is being unwilling to accept something.

So are you suggesting fascists and fascist movements should not be restrained via group with power and control over them but people just not accepting them is fine?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No. I’m suggesting that just because a person is intolerant doesn’t mean that they’re oppressive.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

All oppression is intolerant, not all intolerance is oppressive.
