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.

    Crossing the line and actually doxxing someone makes you just as bad. Repirting to feds and local law enforcement (heh kkkops wouldnt care) is acceptable, but you doxxed someone online. Runaway may be a false bravado old fucker, maybe bad enough to shoot some innocent anTEEfuh innocent, but doxxing is shithead behavior. Fighting the racist asshole on SN isn't going to solve our problems, but nothing will when supposed Christians (and Muslims as offshoots of Judaism like Christianity) are so eager to abandon the very simple 10 commandments with a variety of excuses why hurting others like illegals and "thugs" *dogwhistle* is totally fine and actually god's will /puke

    Regardless, you doxxed runaway and continue to threaten. It serves a purpose only to remind runaway of his mortality, to everyone else you're just another violent asshole. SN has problems and does not want to change, deal with it and move on, community has made it pretty clear that rightwing bullshit is not wanted or believed but for a few. Runaway will not suffer further consequences, but his main account is rather tarnished by his own publications.

    Move on or chill out, most everyone are quite aware of the problems, but barring community protest for some change there is no point wasting further focus on the vendetta. The zoomers understand CRT, long run we'll be ok if society survives climate change and humanity manages to irradiate its own planet.
