Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

No, it doesn't, and pretending so will not make your case any more convincing.
Explain how not accepting hatred and bigotry is "mob rule" and not just "keeping peace", thanks.
True but irrelevant. What is your point, here?
"In times of rising authoritarianism", sure. But waves of democratic protest for popular movements is not rising authoritarianism. It's rising libertarianism, the exact opposite.
Such as when, and how? When do those pushing for tolerance ever "shrink their circle"? You're just making this up.
No, you're not. If you really are, then yes, you are stupid.
