Whenever someone posts this sort of vague "people aren't tolerating my ideas" post, nine-times-outta-ten, the ideas in question are just awful.
No, my idea is great, everyone else is wrong!
10/10 times somebody seethes at the idea of merely listening to ideas that they might dislike or disagree with is some extremist whacko who gets all their information from a heavily vetted and censored echo chambers.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to build a giant slide from the peak of Mount Joffre, OK‽
Sometimes the bad guys have skulls on their caps and it's really just that black and white simple.
Sometimes, but not usually

Using imfglip and linking to it instead of hosting the image somewhere (Lemmy? Imgbb?) definitely makes you one of the baddies.
Also there's several variations of this meme that you could have used that don't use a violent abusers image. Like a similar one with Geordi LaForge from Star Trek.
drake is a violent abuser?
I think they've mixed up Drake, the rapper, and Drake Bell, the actor. Though the two look nothing alike, so maybe I've missed some news report.
What's wrong with linking to imgflip ?
For me (using Jerboa), it automatically opens in an external browser instead of just opening the image in app.
Other apps might not have this issue though. Not sure why OP made the remark.
How dare the public not want to hear about us stripping the rights of gays, and trans people? ECHO CHAMBER! I JUST WANT CIVIL DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOTHING BUT THUGS AND RAPISTS AND THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO AFRICA.
How about no dude? Go back to Truth Social and rant there. Nobody wants to hear about your eugenics, how a female comic artist hurts your browsing experience and you're too contrarian not to spew misogynist rhetoric.
Progressives and most real moderates know better now. It's all bad-faith arguments and dog whistles. The paradox of tolerance is real and people need to stop platforming insanity.
Meanwhile you've got a c/Politics mod defending the Daily Wire as a "valid alternate viewpoint." Truly we've reached post-irony
I just want people to stop thinking their political views are meme-worthy. I came here to be entertained, not lectured.
This isn't limited to lemmy users.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Beef Stroganoff.
While there's definitely some of that going on, the people I usually see complaining about this kind of thing are not interested in the fair exchange of ideas. Rather, they're upset that one of their dumb opinions got made fun of in a public forum.
no you dont understand!!! my opinion is correct, and anyone who dares to question it is automaticay one of the bad guys!!!!
You are mistaken. MY opinion is the truth, always.
Actually, you're both wrong.
yeah, im this 🤏 close to unsubscribing from any news related communities. the comments are mostly repetitive circle-jerks and antagonistic in-fighting. it's really affecting my time on here.
Ngl same
The top part of the meme is actually a reason I like instances that don't defederate from other instances. It allows me to see what those I disagree with and/or just don't like might be saying/thinking at a certain period.
I'm the main character, how could I ever be on the bad side?
You're not, boss. You're my childhood friend that saved me from a gang of rabid wombats and I would follow you forever using my unique skills to defeat your enemies in turn based combat.
it's simple, the guys I like are the good ones, and the ones I don't are bad.
For people who don't want to click on the link:
Oh dear, someone's mad that others rejected their fascism again
My favourite part of Lemmy is seeing enlightened centrists posting to Lemmy.ml thinking it’ll be sympathetic to any other ideology than socialism/communism.
you either agree with me, or you're in the other tribe
I used to feel that way but man, after the 20th time in a row that someone either calling for nuance or unity with questionable individuals ended up being some sort of malefactor with an evil agenda has me completely burnt on thinking that way. You just have to accept that some people are irredeemable and not worth dealing with, and replace them with those who are actually out there for your best interests.
