Civil Society is Maintained Through Natural Language

On degrees of tolerance for Facism:

So to split hairs since folks are throwing around the word "philosophy" already...

(1) This is like the classic "love the sinner hate the sin," trope that gets tossed around in evangelical Christian circles.

In this case: [tolerating the intolerant, TIt] and [tolerating intolerance, TIe] are two different things. The tolerance of intolerant whiners is to be encouraged as long as semantics Y remain in the realm of discourse (memory in a relatively safe security ring / safe spaces for snowflakes and facists, etc.) ... the intolerance of behaviours which violate security ring containment X (actions in memory spaces which cause damage that can be cast as structural beyond the safety of mere discourse) should not be tolerated regardless of intent... whether a facist open-carrier, a wanted serial killer, or violent autist does X, X needs to be contained.

(2)
So far this is just a heuristic, and an analytical implementation tends to fall over where we try and figure out which mental events belong in which security rings. Some say that having their feelings hurt is in a low privilege ring (safe space) whereas some say that having feelings hurt is in a high privilege ring (unsafe space)... so how do you decide what is what? Because the subject of discourse is mental events, you HAVE to be analytical about mental events in order to nail down a more MECE version of this heuristic.

Unfortunately, while some of us can be quite comprehensive about quantifying mental events, that business is not for everyone. So until we get to a point where culture and education norms require everyone to be analytical, we simply have to fudge around with less MECE implementations of the heuristic, if we also want to apply the heuristic to society in general.

(3)
In smaller societies of more analytical sentients (meat human, or otherwise) it's quite easy to have more quantified discourse. But that's not the case with most people.

Therefore we have civil society maintained in a non-MECE fashion via natural language, for the masses.
