Tolerance Is Not A Moral Precept.
This is a thorough once-over giving the lie to the "conservatives'" self-serving bullshit squealing that "Butbutbutbutbut if you don't tolerate my intolerance you're a hypocrite!" The short version, as put forth in the article, is this: tolerance is a peace treaty, not a suicide pact.
Put another way, it's social technology, just like laws. It allows us, in an ever-more-connected global society, to exist and function. Like a treaty it covers those, and only those, who are party to it.
This means that if you're a genocidal fucking psychopath then no, Virginia, we do not have to "tolerate" your unhinged ramblings. You are cancer in the body politic. You have gleefully ripped your human card to shreds and dropped the pieces in an incinerator, cackling like a hyena on PCP at how you have "owned the libs." You have placed yourselves outside the treaty. We are not obligated to put up with your shit.
tl;dr: if you can't behave like a civilized human being, don't be surprised when you get treated like a rabid animal. Read and be better, or don't, it's your choice, but don't bitch when you get your find-outs.

I disagree with the liberals above. No, it's not all right to be white, because it's not all right to sexually identify as a "race" when there is no such thing as "race."

Why do I give a flying fuck about the racialist insanity of the bourgeoisie?

There is no such thing a "white". Race is a social construct, by slave-owning southerners, and "white" is a back-formation that only means "not-black". As in, "At least I am not." But these "whites" are, like Runaway1956, the most deplorable and recondite of the human race. Yes, they are not a separate race, more a collage of fuckwits, but since they do try to make it about race, and fail, they are idiots and assholes. Consider Runaway1956, says he's not racist, but he is a motherfucking racist through and through. So to identify, as Runaway does, as "white" and "male" (can conservatives even define what a Man is?), straight (questionable, naval service), Christian (never seen any evidence of this), conservative (not really), is to be the victim of fake news, fake victimhood, and really just fake existence. Does Runaway1956 actually exist? Or is he just a janrinok sockpuppet, a EuroCon's fantasy of an American Trump supporter? We would need something concrete, like a real name and home address, to take Runaway seriously. Otherwise, he is just khallow-quality fluff.

Isn't this exactly what got Scott Adams in trouble? Yes, all lives matter, like all people matter, at a feminist protest.

Voice of America, people, the propaganda wing that fights against Russian shills like Runaway.

WTF is up with all the spam mods? Admin cannot possibly think this will solve the problems of their abysmal community management, can they?

Probably they think that a sufficient number of spam mods will make a thing called the "white race" begin to exist.

Spam modding your way to racial purity? Sounds like a Eugenetics program! Um, editores? Que pasa? Cui Bono?
