    Thin blue line flag != intolerance.

    Some people who use it are bigots, yes. But the only ‘victim’ in this specific situation is the person whose car was vandalized.

      That’s just false. The thin blue line is by definition a tribal mind set. It’s all about the in-group vs. the out-group and demonizing that out-group. All of which is the beating heart of intolerance.

      Guess I’ve upset the bootlickers that haven’t figured out the difference between describing intolerance and being intolerant.

        Aaaand with this post, you are totally not following that tribal mindset yourself? You are doing the exact same thing

          Exactly. But in their mindset, it’s OK to do so because ‘ACAB’ and other bullshit generalizations, exactly the thing they call out when applied to their favorite groups.
