Dr. Phill Talks 21st Century Intolerance Of Other Opinions

[Borislshere 53,086]

It’s so easy to say “respect everyone’s opinions” when their opinions don’t effect your life 

[Hurem 17,800]

He spilled.

The current culture of intolerance and cancel culture has to END.  

[ryhanna 3,507]

I mean, in a perfect world, yeah. 

But the issue is that a lot of the things that people seem relentlessly hellbent on clinging to their precious opinions on are things that don't effect them but do effect others.

If someone comes up to me and says "hey, I know you're gay, but I'm straight and I believe in god and I think you and your lifestyle are an abomination and you're damned to hell," why would I want to go to lunch with that person? How I live my life has no bearing on how they live theirs, but they still feel the need to let me know that they 'disagree' with my personal life. 

If a friend told me "hey, I know you're really into Marvel movies but I just really don't like them," that's fine. Cool, you're entitled to feel that way and we can easily hang out because that's just a matter of taste. But a lot of the things that we 'disagree' on aren't just differences in taste. They're personal, hurtful and discriminatory, often without any need to be. That's not the same.

He is absolutely wrong. Nothing grinds my gears more when people use myopic phrases like “it used to be....” or “in the old days...” or “whatever happened to...” Newsflash y’all, if I was a black man living in 1965 arguing with some white ignoramus with incorrect opinions about segregation, I would not be able to go and have lunch with them after. Many sources of disagreement come from fundamental character flaws like ignorance, bigotry, selfishness, etc. You can’t gloss over those opinions and have tea time with someone after. It’s not realistic and it’s an incredible disservice to oneself.

Dr. Phil is a straight, white, rich man. Hearing this from him doesn’t shock me. He is not directly impacted by bigotry, nor does he clearly care enough about others who are because he is able to ignore those “opinions” and still be friends with toxic people who carry them. I have to laugh 

[Adakam 2]

He is a fraud

[weed 74,387]

I watched this a while ago (I clicked the link and I have the video liked already lol) and I think most of the stuff he says is good. I don't like his show too much, but I watched an hour long interview between him and Sophie Turner and it was really touching!

Bish it goes way beyond that...ppl like me who complain about this toxicity are not taking about jailing gays or holding back women's rights/equality...

 

There's ppl that totally loose it and go off into total rant meltdowns over the smallest grey areas

 

if u whatched the whole thing he was not ok with taking away rights such as "defining transgendered out of existsnce". 

 

so he's probably thinking the same lines as me

You do realize you’re running down the  same logical pathway that many right wingers use for self victimization for being oppressed for “having a different opinion.” What Dr. Phil and what you are saying is not that simple. 

Make it doesn’t even have to be restricted to scenarios like “transgender people’s existence.” We’ve progressed enough as a society that people’s biases are represented in much more nuanced ways. I’ve had conversations regarding issues like Trans people being allowed to use the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity with Many non queer people, who have stated that they believe in a “transgendered person’s right to existence” yet hold views that directly contradict that statement. As a strong ally of trans people, I can’t forgive and agree to disagree with people who hold harmful views towards the social equality of the trans community regardless of what they stated.

Not every situation applies to that line of thinking in my view

 

But I don't wanna argue so we can leave it at that

Yup. There must be zero tolerance whatsoever when it comes to "intolerance". You cannot have it both ways. You cannot have a "group A" hate a "group B" just for existing, and then expect "group B" to have respect for "group A". It does not work that way. 

Karl Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance

I’ve said this before in the past, in OP’s threads too, and they go ignored. 

Also, Dr. Phil is one of the most vile people on TV. Using people’s traumas for ratings. It’s invasive and a borderline minstrel show. He’s in no position to talk when an actual real psychiatrist would never put a patient’s wellbeing as a performance to an audience—an audience that is trained to react a certain way for filming reaction shots.

I’m absolutely disgusted. People make fun of Trump supporters for voting in a reality TV star only to go “oh look at this other reality tv star speak the truth”

The title Dr. is the most abused title in North America.

He's not wrong though

From the title, I thought he spewed some **** about how we should BOTH respect people's rights AND conservatives or something and was about to go off 

Didn’t you watch it. He did. He said that people have to respect others right to disagree. And Daddy Phil is right.

Only if you’re a snowflake. I had a friend who was homophobic for the longest time and it didn’t affect our friendship. From time to time we’d have a talk about why she’s a dumb bitch for thinking homosexuality is a sin and then we’d move on.

You say this like you should be applauded lmao? Congratulations on being friends with a homophobe.

Congratulations to me for not being a snowflake.   Just because she had one bad opinion doesn't mean she's a bad person overall.
