    The number of people in the worlds and variables that result in countless varying points of view means that there will always be people who you would have a difficult time holding a conversation with, because their values and views are very different from your own. Everyone still has the right to live. Everyone still has the right to be honest about their views, even if they seem like complete assholes.

    The line comes at insisting others different from yourself are inferior and don’t have the same right to live and be. That is intolerance.

      So far in this comment section, your line has been set at about half a dozen different places. I think this is deliberate to make your position difficult to pin down and thereby effectively argue against.

      Because you’re trying to get people to blithely accept bigotry as a normal part of a healthy society, until such time as bigots achieve their (your) goals.

        Feel free to actually cite anything I’ve said that you see as somehow being in conflict and I will explain them to you.

        I suggest you actually take the time to read Karl Popper’s works. You’re arguing with a near 50 year year old man who spent 5 years in prison in the US for being black at the wrong place at the wrong time. You sound like a kid who hasn’t had much actual experience with genuine intolerance, and so you’re conflating it with people not agreeing with you on the internet.

          How about I don’t waste a bunch of time wading through your apologia for bigots just so you can pretend that bigotry is just a harmless difference of opinion that never harmed anyone.

          You’re arguing with a near 50 year year old man who spent 5 years in prison in the US for being black at the wrong place at the wrong time.

          You’re arguing with someone who won’t disclose biographical information on the internet as a replacement for defensible ideas. It cannot be verified without a serious breech of privacy and it’s a cheap way to argue.

          You sound like a kid who hasn’t had much actual experience with genuine intolerance

          Anyone who disagrees with you must be younger than you and therefore wrong. Why not? After all, in this thread you’ve argued that misgendering and deadnaming trans people is tolerant behavior, and lamented at length that you can no longer call disabled people slurs without pushback. I’m wasting my time with you and should have seen that from the beginning. This is the last two cents’ worth you’re getting out of me. I overpaid already.

            People peacefully disagreeing and not liking one anothers opinions and views is tolerance. You don’t need tolerance for those you agree with on all important issues.

            and lamented at length that you can no longer call disabled people slurs without pushback.

            No, I’ve been irritated at the senseless focus on a single word as the problem by people using it to virtue signal while using the many other words that cause the exact same effect and are also listed as ableist slurs that should be avoided while they don’t do a damned thing to actually improve the lives of people living with IDDs.

            Your own post history is riddled with similar terms to the thing you’re trying to claim I use in an offensive manner. It’s a bit difficult for us to never say a thing is stupid, but hollow virtue signaling is easy.

            I’m sorry that people have opinions and views that don’t match your own. Yes, you seem young since that is something you feel is wrong and evil of them. Plenty of people in the world would feel the same about your own views and opinions.

            You should take the time to actually study Karl Popper’s works. To understand what tolerance is and why it is necessary. Killing or forcibly silencing anyone who doesn’t share your world view is the polar opposite of tolerance.

              Stop trying to bait me into further interaction, bigot.

                I’m just blocking you. Go read. For your own good.

                  Try not to shriek slurs at anyone on your way there.
