    Under communism, our traditional values will include putting reactionaries in gulags as we will have no tolerance for them. They will get their “more traditional values, less tolerance” that way.

    Hot take (hot to them, probably not y’all): real traditional values already include intentional tolerance and conservatives’ view of “traditional values” are mostly just modern reactionary bs fueled by willful misinterpretation of history and religion.

    This country is fucking done dude. You can’t reform a society where 50% of people think human rights are debatable.

    So are we just ignoring Ancient Greek homosexuality and bisexuality and even their non-binary elements? Quote: In Ancient Greece, Phrygia, and Rome, there were galli priests that some scholars believe to have been trans women. Roman emperor Elagabalus (d. 222 AD) preferred to be called a lady (rather than a lord) and sought sex reassignment surgery, and in the modern day has been seen as a trans figure.

        Unless it’s about their slavery or trying to misconstrue bisexual men to be the straightest men to ever exist

    Wait I thought there were plenty of “traditional values” about tolerance.

    Americans ought to promote the traditional values of the peoples of their land and the diversity of genders, sexualities and neurodivergence.

    Intolerance is acceptable when it comes to not tolerating genocide and destroying the land for short term gains.

    its a wierd question unless “traditional values” actually means “Fascism” which I think is reasonable to be intolerant of.
