People don't value tolerance anymore. You only need tolerance for things you don't like or understand.
Honestly, these sorts of things would work better if people acted locally more. It's human to be upset about the Parkland incident. It's not appropriate for a resident of Spokane to have strong feelings about Florida gun laws, let alone actually lobby for them. Discussing current events can be healthy, but only to the extent that it helps us develop our thoughts about how our local communities should work.
- kerbalspacepro 9y agoYou're confusing valuing tolerance for tolerating the intolerable.
- humanrebar 9y agoIt should be tolerable for someone to do something stupid "over there" to sell their hipster beer if you're not involved. There are few issues where we have to actually force a nation-wide conflict to decide on a particular outcome. Whoever is doing it, convincing YouTube and Reddit to force internet-wide struggles over these issues isn't choosing the right battles.
