@aral The world is fucked up because of lack of tolerance and empathy for others. We don't need to police what others say. So I call BS. ;)

@OddWeirdo Did anyone mention policing what people say? It’s talking about not tolerating the bullshit that people _do_ (bigotry, etc.) -
@aral My reply was an illustration of what can go wrong when someone calls BS on someone's opinion. I'm with you on calling out bigotry. -
@OddWeirdo X: ‘It is my opinion that the earth revolves around the sun’ Y: ‘Bullshit.’ Perfect use of the word.#SimplifiedForTwitter :) -
@aral I've seen "calling out BS" as the justification excuse for most trolls, just leads to pointless cyclic disputes and drama.

@aral a community of people with shared values celebrating something important to them: I can respect this, even if I don't agree with them. -
@ronaldx Even if those shared values perpetuate bigotry (eg., against gays) & mean that people die needlessly of AIDS (no to contraception)?

@richquick Yep. That was, indeed, a beautiful demonstration of bullshit.

@aral@old_sound how can you be sure what you call bullshit is not someone else's anti-bullshit crusade? Take "women in tech", for example. -
@aliostad@old_sound You distill it to its first principles. Is equality or diversity bullshit? No. Is inequality and bigotry bullshit. Yes. -
@aral@old_sound principles not difficult to distill. It is applying them that creates such a mess that we are in.

@aral I agree with you here which is kinda strange given the amount of crusade-like-bullshit you often spit out round here :P -
@fabiovenni Really? Crusade-like bullshit? Let me very quickly save you from that crap. -
@aral gotcha! :P ahah
