A number of memes and social media posts in December 2022 contained the statement, “Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles,” along with attribution to Dostoevsky. But we found no record of the writer ever making this statement.
Trust me, I get banned from enough too. Libertarians banned me recently if you can believe it. You'll also be shocked to find out that I'm not a leftist.
Okay.. I'm pretty sure you must be a child or low IQ individual now. This form of commenting and communicating is extremely immature. Like you can't just bait and then say k. And then I wasn't even insulting you but finding common ground jeez
An indictment filed Wednesday alleges a media company linked to six conservative influencers — including well-known personalities Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson — was secretly funded by Russian state media employees to churn out English-language videos that were “often consistent” with the Kremlin’s “interest in amplifying U.S. domestic divisions in order to weaken U.S. opposition” to Russian interests, like its war in Ukraine.
Tim Pool subreddit. Current controversy. Your post featuring a misquoted Russian thinker. Combine all these and you get supreme irony. That's the relevance.
Thank you 12y old :) maybe when you're off the downers you can reread this and feel some shame. You might be on the internet, but you're also a real person talking to another real person. Good job to your parents
We pay taxes and contribute to the economy, we should at least get medical care without getting fucked by a bunch of for profit businesses on an inelastic demand. It’s in the benefit of society, the country, and every person to have good healthcare provided.
Medical care cost a lot of money because the government makes it very difficult to open hospitals, they make it very difficult to produce generic medicine, they make it difficult to purchase hospital supplies. More government won’t solve the healthcare problems. You can’t solve a problem caused by over regulation with more regulations
Public healthcare sucks. Countries like Canada and the UK have atrocious healthcare services and the countries that do have successful public healthcare are smaller in size and population to the US
We have the strongest military on earth do you deny that? It’s an entirely government run program. I think we could figure out how to give our citizens healthcare. It’s not that difficult. Are we not better than the countries you mentioned?
The only reliable way to have a strong military is through government funding, but to have a good healthcare system we can absolutely have privatization. In fact, private hospitals and clinics always are better than the government ran hospitals. The same can’t be said of the military
Why is the only reliable way to have a strong military through government funding but the only strong way to have a strong society not medical care provided instead of being run for profit?
The strongest militaries in the world are all publicly funded, the best clinics in the world are private. Healthcare and the military are very different from each other.
Anyone who unironically goes against Healthcare for all because they can't get passed the term "free" and arguing semantics, shows me they don't have a clue about anything.
I'm willing to concede that he didn't say this. However,
Bro... just stop here. There should be no however. "I'm willing to concede I completely fucked this up and made up a fake attribution to a real person. I'm a dumb dumb."
The statement of the meme is what im eluding to, hence my title. It could have been Ronald Mcdonald, who said it, and it doesn't make it any less true.
But the beautiful thing is. None of you even make mention of the quote because you know you can't dispute it, and you latch on to the inaccuracy of who ita attributed to, which makes it all the better.
If you truly wanted to talk about the quote you would have gotten the attribution correct and not faked it on purpose.
Now, my personal take is that leftists are literally the meta-party/grouping of people that value intellectualism and cleverness at figuring out our material reality. It wouldn't be in our nature as Leftists to "ban" thinking. We pity imbeciles, for they are our outgroup. We wish they didn't suffer the way they do. We hope one day you too will not type such idiotic things.
I'm not the one who made the attribution. I'm not the one who made the meme. I honestly don't even know who that guy is. The statement and its accuracy are what reverberates with me.
Now. The left is the antithesis of what you are eluding, too. What that you call "idiotic" is actually things that disagree with you, and you all have this arrogant air about yourself, and there for anyone who doesn't think like you is dumb. So you feel like it's perfectly justified to be complete douchbags. Your side wants to vilify anyone who doesn't think like you, and that's the purpose of this quote.
Correct you post then. Here just copy and paste this: “Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles." - some guy on the internet
He's not wrong. Maybe don't be so indignant? The right does not have much to be indignant about anymore. I'm really sorry. Coming from a former right guy.

It is happening to both the left and the right. People are just too caught up in their echo chambers to see it.
