November 24, 20169 yr Well that guy just proves in the interview that he isn't an idiot. It also proves the lack of intolerance liberals have while they try to preach tolerance for what they believe. Its a very enlightening interview for sure. At least he dont try to hide it like most.
November 24, 20169 yr Previous to watching the video my initial gut was opposed to the guy denying business to Trump supporters, and he did nothing to change my thinking on that. I was eager to see if he could make a valid point, but he didn't. I'm not thinking that he can drive the point by exercising his own self-accepted brand of discrimination. This is a very good example of the slippery slope. I was hoping to hang my hat on one of these guys, but I couldn't. Both of their biases screwed up the discussion. The only upside, if you could call it that, is that it vividly paints the ugliness and frustration of our divisiveness that disallows either to begin to listen, respect, or understand one another. Neither is deserving if they're not willing to give it. A perpetual impasse of rudeness. The guy's actions for starters sets just as bad a precedent as does the not baking a cake folks in letting one's beliefs interfere with other people's freedom. I suppose that it could have people uneasily discovering, if they're being honest with themselves, how they could hypocritically allow one, and not the other, and it paints clearly to one's self just how biased they really are, if again they're willing to take notice. No matter what side you're on it's either yes you can, or no you can't, and either way, IMO no you shouldn't. Justified or not it is his fear that is motivating him. Can we justify fears case by case? It's hard to know either way, but again a slippery slope. The topic boils down to intolerance and its cyclical paradox. There's intolerance, and there's intolerance of intolerance, and there's being intolerant of someone being intolerant of intolerance, and on to never ending intolerance of intolerance of intolerance of intolerance. Their points get nullified by their ignorance and biases that never allow one bit of understanding or acknowledgment of either's ideas. Unsurprisingly I get the dude's fears, but his diplomacy bites and his actions scream of reverse discrimination. He feels it's acceptable, but ignores that he does the very type thing that he detests. We all want what we want. We all see how we see, but if you're looking for credibility then you have to be consistent or else you're not worthy of being taken seriously. Differing opinions is nothing new, and I've seen it to various levels throughout my life, but is it just me or have we as a people taken our divisiveness to an extreme different level not before seen? It certainly feels like it because the frustrating impasse feels ever so more impassable that I ever recall it having felt before.
November 24, 20169 yr Well that guy just proves in the interview that he isn't an idiot. It also proves the lack of intolerance liberals have while they try to preach tolerance for what they believe. Ref, you hit the nail on the head. Or maybe I should just chalk it up as a Freudian slip.
