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'm not being presumptuous. Once again, you're the person who thinks giving equal opportunity to Black people is an attack on white people. Again, you're the person who wants to kill everyone who disagrees with you. Here's that comment again: https://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?cid=745579&sid=27952 [soylentnews.org].
Your response is b-b-b-b-b-but some crazy liberal said something stupid on the internet. I'm not interested in clicking random Youtube links you send me. But I know that with any group of a reasonably large size, there will be a few crazy people within that group. I'm not promoting their crazy ideas, and I condemn them when I see them.
Likewise, I'm not judging you because of what other conservatives say. I'm judging you by what you've said. These are the sins I'm talking about, that you want to kill everyone who disagrees with you and send them to Hell. That is exactly what you mean when you say, "Kill 'em all, and let God sort them out."
For some reason you don't think you should have to take personal responsibility for your own actions. Your response was a bunch of whataboutism, that there are some liberals who say crazy things. There are some liberals with crazy ideas, and they're wrong. But you're taking the crazy ideas of a few and saying it's what all liberals want. It's nothing more than an excuse to deflect from your own behavior.
When will you take responsibility for your own actions? When will you take responsibility for saying that promoting equal opportunity for Black people is attacking white people? When will you take responsibility for saying that you want to kill everyone who disagrees with you?
