I swear, this shit makes it look more complicated than it actually is. In general, I just don't do to others what I wouldn't want to be done to me. There. That's all there is to it. Just don't be a dick to me and I won't be a dick to you. Easy.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Who writes the social contract? The in-group.
How does the social contract evolve over time if every single person that doesn't abide to it in its current form is ostracized? It doesn't.
It's not a literal contract. Tying theories about tolerance to it is more or less just saying "fuck it whatever".
The paradox of tolerance is of course a real thing but this isn't the solution. All it does is erode the principles necessary to even hold to the idea of tolerance in the first place.
Yeah, I just blocked news@lemmy.world because their responses to the whole "Photographer wins right to discriminate" thing were just unhinged.
"Yeah bro he should be able to discriminate against anyone he wants and all businesses should be able to do that" Bro what
I definitely do not tolerate people who start their written sentences with "Sorry, as someone who [...]"
Edit: Sorry, I screwed up.
