What you do not seem to acknowledge is that your view boils down to 'my way, or violence.' And your opposite is similarly viewing things through a lens that boils down to 'my way, or violence.' It's easy to see how this is going to end... When you put this in some sort of reduction to absurdity by pretending debates are about slavery, then it masks how truly psychotic this is. In reality, people are discussing things that are far more shades of grey than black and white, but with complete mutual self righteous determination that their side of grey is actually the 'white' side. But let's get back to even notions of black and white, right and wrong. People must be allowed to think and even argue in favor of things that are completely awful. Deciding to assault people for wrong think makes you no less wrong. The difference is in action. And again this often results in people trying to do things like invoke some sort of 'paradox of tolerance', but in reality - there is hardly such a thing. Please list an of a single society that was oppressively destroyed by an internal force that made their points relatively peacefully. That whole sentence is a a nonsequitor. It's the prime example of that sort of sophistic logic people use to convince themselves that they're protecting society from its imminent demise, and it's complete nonsense. And it's also arguably the most dangerous thing in this world. Nearly all 'evil' in this world has been done in the name of some greater good.
