My Little Pony: Rant on "Love and Tolerance"

[metroid10000]

LOLOLOL hating on democrats? Not really necessary in the rant, someone might be offended.

[69Kambash64]

Cont.

As for hating socialists,there are several things. Socialism and communism are very, very different. Socialism is between Capitalism and Communism. As for communism, no one has truly achieved it. The U.S.S.R. had a form of strictly controlled capitalism, as does China. The only true, fully functioning communist state I've heard of is Dinotopia, which is fictional, so the point is moot.

[69Kambash64]

Democrats are political group. Socialism is an economic system. One does not equate with the other. The whole left wing/right wing thing is stupid. A map is more effective in determining where one falls on the political/economic scale.

As for hating democrats, I have to question it. Why would you even bother with this political party bullshit in the first place? No one ever listened to Washington when he said he didn't want the nation to vote on parties, but instead to vote on the individuals.

[CrazyCheeseMagee]

Response to the part where you conflate Democrats (as in the American political party) with socialists. watch?v=a30MaQrA6DU

"[1] I hate Hitler. [2] I hate socialists. [3] And I hate democrats."

[1] Get over it. He's dead. To tolerate the likes of him is to accept that he did what he did and we are still here to make things better.

[2],[3]: Now I find it funny how you understand hatred and opinions to be two different things, but by hating actual people, I wonder if you understand what that difference actually is. Aristotle would say by hating socialists and democrats, you actually wish for them to die. Love?

[TenSecondsFlat10]

@sapphire475gs I guess someone didn't get the joke memo. And they are a German Liberal.

[SuperSillySmilyFace]

You hate Hitler?!

/Heart Broken

[danielk2427]

Rarity is my least favorite too. She has had some good episodes example: a dog & a pony show.

[Wrathfury10]

"...And democrats."

Me: I need to subscribe to this person.

Fun fact: The symbol for a democrat is a donkey.

Funny fact: Donkey in a picture is another way to express someone is a jackass.

Also, good rant. (Real thoughts: If anypony trolls I swear to celestia I will destroy their home.) I will say it again, Think before you troll.

[sonicboom800]

I'm going to love and tolerant the s**t out of you.

[KabutoOfTheSound6]

oh, the difference between "democrat" and "socialist" is EXTREMELY huge... USA and Norway... watch and weep

[TenSecondsFlat10]

@KabutoOfTheSound6 Except that America isn't run solely by Democrats. The House of Representatives has a majority of Republicans.

[red1917trot]

@TenSecondsFlat10 You of course have every right to hate democrats and socialists, but I just don't see how 'factually speaking' you can say they have the same views economically. Democrats support a capitalist economy, one where the overwhelming majority of the economy is owned and controlled by a capitalist class while socialists like myself support the abolition of capitalism in favour of a democratically controlled planned economy, can you not see the difference?

[TenSecondsFlat10]

@red1917trot Economic leftism is mild socialism. Socialism is strictly defined too much; in my opinion, it's really just striving for income equality. There are different extents (you would be a more reactionary, yet still democratic, socialist) but there are socialists who favor capitalism but support massive distribution.

[SilentBloodQueen]

"I hate democrates." The person not the political view, you're not very love and tolerative.

[Viper7334]

Spread the love but tolerate the people who doesnt want to see it

[ljungan58]

And I hate... Homework.

[soljerameelguy]

the message of love and tolerance is nowhere in the show. its something the fandom invented wich was never true. Love and Tolerance dont exist. Go to ANY brony/ponyfan internet group and in no time youl get grilled for having different views, likes, and dislikes than X other member and his peers. tl;dr: bronies are just as bad as any other internet group of people. 80% Idiots, 15% Assholes, 5% Decent People.

[TypeANegative]

Interesting rant. A lot of the time, people say 'tolerance' when they really mean 'don't say anything I'm doing is wrong or I'll say that you're hateful and close-minded'. And when I hear someone use the word 'tolerance' when they actually mean 'respect', it irks me.

[ZenkiAzure]

I agree on everything you said here, but there are a few good democratic views. Liberals are closer to socialists, which make up most of the democratic populous. Keep up the good work! :D

[TheBloodrox]

They're kidding when they say "love and tolerate" most of the time. Well, let me rephrase that, when people say "love and tolerate Rarity" they don't expect you to take that seriously. My friends have told me to "love and tolerate" when I say rarity is my least favorite pony(I agree) but I don't start ranting at them...

[Plushies4Ever]

@TheBloodrox

I agree with your thought as to Rarity.

She's just an annoying whore.

[TheBloodrox]

@Plushies4Ever Wow, I said she's my least favorite pony but not a annoying whore. I LOVE all the pony characters, but out of the main six Rairity's my least favorite pony. Rairity's not a whore, she's too 'fabulous.'

[MunchyHooves]

Oh, why did you have to say your political views and stop me from subscribing? :(

Oh, it doesn't matter. I'll sub anyway!

[AngeloAwesome]

@MunchyHooves Had the exact same thought too. :> But I find her / your videos too interesting for ignoring them. :D

Sincerly, your hated german social democrat.

[MunchyHooves]

@AngeloAwesome DEMOCRATS UNTIE! ...*Loses friends*

I mean, REPUBLICAN ARE THE BEST.

[DTPsadus]

almost cried over the picture thing? bitch please, i had to put my shirt out to dry after that episode

[MLPisEPIC]

I agree let's just love and tolerate and watch ponies

[09MLPFIMfan]

To be honest, bronies don't use "love and tollerance" to their advantage. Seriously, theres... What, over 9,000 pony hatred videos, and ALL they have is dislikes and comment saying "you live in a basement, faggot" ect. Let's face it, IT'S A TV SHOW. Better of an example yet, a POPULAR one. There's gonna be haters AND lovers. We just have to accept that. And typing hate or insults isn't gonna help it. Anypony can believe what they want to believe.

HATERS GONNA HATE, PONIES GONNA PWN!!!!!

[Ritsuioko23]

You need to love and tolerate bro...

[epiccrownage]

I hate (lol) the "Love and Tolerate" bullcrap. It's stupid and weak-minded to base your morals off of a TV show.

[syrassyra]

@epiccrownage I think that, when a positive message is presented in any medium, it is admirable to take that message to heart and apply it to your life. Do unto others, and so on. I mean, in the end, how is basing part of your moral code off of a TV show any worse then basing part of your moral code off of a book? The Bible has some great messages in it, too.

Admittedly, most of those messages aren't taken quite as seriously these days as Love and Tolerance is taken by many bronies.

[syrassyra]

@epiccrownage In fact, now that you have me on the subject, I could continue ranting about how most of our morals are based off of stories and oral history. Morals are built by observation and learning. When we are told a fairy tale about a prince that rescues a princess from a dragon, why is the prince the hero? Because we have been taught that that is right. Under a different moral code, the prince could be the villain - the princess could be the dragon's rightful property.

[syrassyra]

@epiccrownage Sorry, I got off on a rail there. tl;dr, Morals are subjective to the standards of society, stories are the building blocks of society, ergo taking morals from stories is basic human nature.

And that's my bit of anonymous internet education for today.

[epiccrownage]

@syrassyra Surprisingly I didn't tl;dr through that. Nice story, bro.

[syrassyra]

@epiccrownage Thank you for your patient and reasonable response. There is hope for humanity yet.

[someonenew123456]

I love your rants! -brohoof anybody?

[NickBeat88]

@someonenew123456 Eeyup /)(\

[NightOfTheWereCat]

I am disappointed by your lack of Rarity-ness.

You really ought to love and tolerate her, bro :P

[Wanderingsage7]

i think even fluttershy hates hitler

[CrayonVlogger]

"I don't hate anything pony related,"

>.<'

[Wanderingsage7]

"i will love and tolerate the crap out of you." ?

[rozendoo]

Good rant. I agree with you on most of it, some bronys just use "love and tolerate" as a passive-agressive copout to diminish any opinion that doesn't match their own.
