Talk:Discrimination

One double standard is that women can commit infidelity.--Yuppie (talk) 21:00, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Totalitrianism
It should be noted that discrimination is just another word for choice, and trying to prevent arbitrary discrimination means demanding a justification for every choice, which is definitely totalitarian.

Why does this always happen
1. Popular, non-abrasive YouTube channel (in this case, CrashCourse) makes a video which happens to touch upon discrimination.

2. Video gets like 20% downvotes instead of the usual 1%.

3. Top comments are things like:

4. I Google this interesting Voltaire quote. Turns out,.

5. Not only was it not said by Voltaire, it was said by a Nazi pedophile (in ''All America Must Know the Terror That Is Upon Us, 1993). Theories? Reverend Black Percy (talk) 19:40, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I find that quote particularly insulting because Voltaire really dug in at difficult, powerful targets back in his day. Being snide at the Pope and Catholic Church and the Monarchy in 1759 in France could easily be a death sentence.  It was obvious who controlled the power around him.  It's not at all like Nazis taking potshots at minorities behind anonymity, and getting criticism for it. ikanreed You probably didn't deserve that 20:19, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

And now for something completely different
I'll reiterate what I'm increasingly certain about: violence against nazis is becoming necessary. A free society can't actually handle an ideology whose MO is to lie freely and endlessly with the sole purpose of accumulating power, and deprive of it of their enemies. Tolerance of intolerance cannot last. ikanreed You probably didn't deserve that 20:19, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Your words seem to sync up very well with the following quote:


 * Even as a pacifist (read: proud bleeding heart chicken) myself, I fully admit that it's some sort of real conundrum...
