Yes, I do care about the politics of people not in the political space. I don’t think people harboring such lunatic views should be legitimized.
It’s interesting that when when this type of hardline attitude goes against the bias of the left people will say it will just make people more radical.
Apparently in the US you can discriminate based on political opinions, in my country that is not true and i prefer it that way, People in FOSS should not discriminate based on political opinions, people should be able to handle criticism even if it is incorrect and try to have a rational discussion (harder then it sounds).
I am a bit old and i don’t remember so much hate between political sides (there is research showing people don’t really have an accurate picture of what the other side believes), i blame for profit media and for profit social media for that, i feel like people used to be better at having productive and civil discussions. it’s like people became so sensitized they can’t hear things they don’t like. luckily lemmy is better as it shows both the upvotes and downvotes so you can see the expression of unpopular political opinions is at least partially appreciated (and probably why lemmy feels more normal to me then reddit).
Individuals must have critical social
media literacy to counteract the rising radicalization through social media. Individual users’ political interests are key factors
in their radicalization such as citizens losing faith in the government and political parties. Active rather than passive searchers
of violent radical material are more likely to engage in political violence.
Do you even hear yourself? Society “tolerating” as if there’s a “them” Vs “us” and we cannot tolerate them. Sounds A LOT like the Nazis who couldn’t tolerate any other views and so killed everyone who disagrees with them.
That’s not how democracy works. I live in a Greek country and Greeks invented democracy. Here each person has their own point of view, will freely discuss it with others, but no one would dare say anything like “we cannot tolerate” others.
After the discussion they all sit down for a meal together and have a great time. Because at the end of the day they are ONE people. That is their strength.
From what I’ve seen the US is ripping apart because you’ve forgotten that you’re supposed to be one nation, United by core principles of freedom and morality. But you all seem fine to destroy each other. All you’ll do is destroy your country and leave yourselves open to the Russians and Chinese to attack you.
Our enemy are fascists, plain and simple. They don’t deserve a voice. The only intelligent approsch is to combat them, as their purpose is to subvert democracy, however horribly flawed a system it is, with exclusionary autocracy. This era isn’t one of two parties who both believe in democracy, finding some disagreement on issues. This is a crisis, “post-fact” era where truth is ignored, corruption and power-grabs are blatant and undisguised, and bigotry is rampant.
No.
Society tolerating people with evil views begets more evil.

Edit:
My hunch appears to be correct according to a systematic review of Radicalization through Social Media:

You should work on your typing and grammar.

You’re too naive.
There is a paradox of tolerating the intolerant.
