So instead of striving for tolerance we should strive for finding fundamental unity with understanding and compassion to achieve civic goals. I value your opinion but I respectfully disagree with your last point that no amount of compassion for the less than compassionate will make them less butt hurt. The irony is that in this thread of intolerance of tolerance that by seeking understanding and showing compassion and valuing the fundamental basics that make each giver of an opinion human, it''s become quite a tolerant discussion about intoleranceYou're misunderstanding me. Yes, we should strive for tolerance, but not in the case of the intolerant. They can eat a bag of dicks, lol. Nothing can destroy a tolerant society quite like becoming tolerant of the intolerant.
See: the current and accelerating decline of liberal governance at the hands of racist trolls.....worldwide. No amount of including those trolls in a civic coalition is prudent. If they want in, then they need to buy in, not bitch about being excluded and called for what they are. It doesn't matter that we might both agree that a new highway is a good idea, for example...particularly since you just -know- they're gonna name it The Nathan Bedford Forrest Superhighway. No darkies in the left lane, violations monitored by aircraft. It'll be a toll road, ofc...and generate immense profits for the local highway patrol, as well as prime opportunity for theft by cops that simply are the robbers. The Statue Enthusiasts of the world will see this, nod their heads, and call it good (as they already do). Gotta keep our roads clean and our nation safe, right?
