"I do not respect any political views that are not in accordance with mine, because I do not respect things I believe to be incorrect."
I like Samizdata, but I object to sentiments like those in this comment: http://www.samizdata.net/2015/04/gamergate-is-far-more-important-than-well-games/#comment-679674 …

As anti-authoritarians, anarchists, libertarians, we have the freedom to allow people to disagree with us. Our ways need not be everyone's.

Per Buddha, we respect people because they are capable of suffering. Per Hayek, we respect people because they know things we don't.

@St_Rev I see his point, and yours, and think probably you only differ in terminology - to wit, the scope of what one respects others for. -
@St_Rev I can respect someone as a human, while also not respecting them (politically or intellectually) because they are, e.g., SJWs. -
@random_eddie It's partly about compassion for others (Buddha) but also partly epistemic humility (Hayek). -
@random_eddie Scorn particular beliefs that have been tested and refuted, yes. But politics also express non-falsifiable preferences.
