Again you’re buying the koolaid. “Tolerance” was always a weapon to shift the Overton window, that’s why “the few” never stay “the few”.
Trying to reduce the complexity of society at large down to a twitter sized post is never going to do you any good regardless of how much effort you put into perfecting it.
I'll take succinct truths over the walls of deception that regularly get posted by certain individuals here.
Okay, but what if your easy answer isn't even truth because you've had to ignore so much to arrive at it?
I'm not. It's like throwing out Free Speech, anti-war sentiments, and immigration restrictions because at some previous point the Left used these terms as weapons against society.
The left will weaponize anything, that’s not the argument. Tolerance as a concept is antithetical to a society and always destroys it. It’s arguing for cancer to spite healthy organs.
But that's my point. You're criticizing Leftism's use of Tolerance. Tolerance is entirely reasonable. It's intended to be used with wisdom. Otherwise, you have unflinching absolutism that doesn't take anyone or anything into account outside of pre-made assertions. No society functions like that, and no society can. In fact, most societies are tolerant of their eccentrics because that's really all they are. Eccentric. Exceptions that prove the rule. A unique feature of a population.
It's a question of scale. You can tolerate mistakes, or obnoxious quirks because you know that they're not actively trying to cause problems.
The issue comes when we're demanded to tolerate active, malicious evil, masquerading as harmless quirks.
