>That is not intolerance.
It is according to the definition you gave. That much seems clear.
>How is your example being flawed irrelevant?
I was referring to your desired immigration system. Regardless, I explained why it was irrelevant immediately after the line you quoted.
>No, it doesn't.
Yes, it does.
>There are all kinds of legitimate reasons to not allow a person into a country.
Relevance? The word "legitimate" did not show up in your definition. No exception for being unwilling to grant or share social, political, or professional rights was carved out for those with "legitimate reasons" for doing so.
>You're (I think deliberately) clouding the difference between legitimate reasons to deny entry and intolerance.
According to your definition, the two are orthogonal.
>Your right to express a belief ends in my mind where said belief intends harm, be it physical, economic, mental or whatever form of harm, on another person.
What exactly do you mean by "intends"? If I advocate for, say, deporting illegal immigrants, and I do so because I think it's in my self-interest for that to be done (whether or not I'm correct), but I hold no ill-will toward said illegal immigrants, and maybe even consider it unfortunate that our interests are in opposition, would you say that I "intend" them harm, simply because I know that economic harm will come to them if the policy for which I advocate is adopted?
Do I need to harbor some sort of malice in my mind in order to intend them harm, or is it enough to merely know it will happen as a (perhaps unfortunate and undesired) consequence?
>Nobody is killing anyone.
Then why ban people from saying what they want?
>You and people who think like you will be outvoted
Maybe. Let's hope not.
>and dragged to a prosperous future whether you want it or not.
Why should anyone trust you to ensure that prosperity rains upon them when you talk about them like that?
