Y'all know that 'being tolerant' doesn't mean that you unequivocally accept any and all potential worldviews or behaviours, right? Like, tolerance is the idea that you accept a person regardless of their creed, their sexuality, their identity, or political affiliation by default but only as long as those people aren't using their creed, sexuality, identity, or political affiliation to harm others. The basic mentality of tolerance and the concept of it as it's been pushed by liberals is that "As long as you're not hurting anyone, I see no right to discriminate or judge; I have tolerance for anyone's decisions or affiliation, but that doesn't mean I'm a twat."

It is not 'tolerant' to openly encourage the KKK to discriminate against black folks. It is not an act of 'tolerance' to turn a blind eye to misogyny or harassment of females in the workplace (as an example.) By the definition of many here who are seeking to poke holes in the concept of tolerance in order to devalue any left-leaning stances, "tolerance" means 'Absolute tolerance'. Or more precisely "EVERY SINGLE PERSON MUST NEVER INTERACT WITH ANOTHER".

Point is, cut that shit out. It's pathetic seeing people try to make 'tolerant' people look bad because they don't tolerate nazis or KKK or Alex Jones other objectively terrible groups.

Quit misrepresenting folks who just want to make the world a better place by giving everyone a chance BEFORE judging them for being racist bastards.

That's wrong. You guys dont give anyone a chance. Leftists make judgement about people based on one time actions or mistakes then brand them for life with it. They're not interested in forgiveness or tolerance, they're interested in smearing opposition. Problem is you have created your own definition of tolerance that you're spewing here and you've defined it for everyone else. That's the totalitarian left. You've defined it as tolerance of certain pet groups that you like (minorities) and intolerance of certain groups you dont like. Tolerance without definition would be absolute, you guys created a definition to protect some and not others.
