There’s a substantial difference between intolerance and oppression.

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What are the most important differences?

[–] RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oppression implies that there is an oppressor with some sort of power or control over the other party.

Intolerance is being unwilling to accept something.

[–] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So are you suggesting fascists and fascist movements should not be restrained via group with power and control over them but people just not accepting them is fine?

[–] RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. I’m suggesting that just because a person is intolerant doesn’t mean that they’re oppressive.

All oppression is intolerant, not all intolerance is oppressive.
