Our societies are anything but tolerant. Don't mistake acceptance of niggers and others as actual signs of behavior. Tell people that you think working a job is for idiots and that the best course of action is to live on welfare and read literature, and see how long it takes until they gang up on you like villagers with pitchforks.

Which work of Aristotle's is this from?

[Anonymous No.10972512]

>>10972063
Tolerance and Apathy is blindly following misattributed quotes to Aristotle.

[Anonymous No.10972520]

>>10972413
It is also worthy to ask if there are different translations of the quote, and what is the original Greek text saying. "Tolerance", particularly with its contemporary implications, is not a word that I've seen thrown around often in ye olde greeke texts, so I'm kind of suspicious about the verity of this quote that, by some weird coincidence, wonderfully aligns with the political views of some people two and a half thousand years later.

[Anonymous No.10972532]

by tolerance, he didn't mean tolerance for people with opposing ideas and beliefs, but a tolerance for apathy and nihilsm.

>Nazis are neither tolerant nor apathetic
how do you know? sure their agenda was wrong and they did awful things under command but to say they didn't have tolerance or apathy at all is presumptuous.

Not sure why i'm sticking up for the Nazis but whatever

[Anonymous No.10972760]

I wish people who haven't actually seriously studied Aristotle - or at best did so piecemeal - would stop mindlessly invoking him.
I don't even particularly mean it in relation to this thread. It is just so infinitely frustrating to see people so carelessly or dishonestly abuse the work of such
an intelligent and thoughtful man, ironic or not.

Actually considerably more tolerant and apathetic than most of the world at the time.

Having an entire population genocided under everyone's eyes with no one doing anything is the definition of being apathetic

About 5 minutes of googling found that this is a false attribution, Aristotle never said it. It first came up in a rant by an evangelical minister, named D. James Kennedy, back in 2007, on a web site called "The Christian Post". It has been spun by various wackos and propagandists to mean whatever they need it to mean to fit their needs ever since. There are no primary sources proving that my buddy, Ari, ever said this.

Stop misattributing that quote to Aristotle. It is John Green who deserves to be known for it.
