minus-squarebufalo1973@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 month agoThat norm only applies to the ones that follow that norm.
minus-squaremerc@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoRight, so if you’re intolerant of anybody, including intolerant people, you’re not following that norm.
minus-squarebufalo1973@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoWrong. You tolerate the tolerants, I tolerate you. You don’t tolerate tolerants, I don’t tolerate you. And by default, everyone is tolerant until proven intolerant.

Wrong.
You tolerate the tolerants, I tolerate you. You don’t tolerate tolerants, I don’t tolerate you.
And by default, everyone is tolerant until proven intolerant.
Which means you’re not tolerant, and people should not tolerate you.
Tolerance is not an absolute.
I tolerate them.
So, you tolerate people who are intolerant?
I tolerate that one.
