Bingo, actual tolerance means accepting with people you disagree with, as long as they can do the same with you. Something like "I disagree with what you say but will defend your right to say it" From a wonderful essay on the topic: > The Emperor summons before him Bodhidharma and asks: “Master, I have been tolerant of innumerable gays, lesbians, bisexuals, asexuals, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, transgender people, and Jews. How many Virtue Points have I earned for my meritorious deeds?” > Bodhidharma answers: “None at all”. > The Emperor, somewhat put out, demands to know why. > Bodhidharma asks: “Well, what do you think of gay people?” > The Emperor answers: “What do you think I am, some kind of homophobic bigot? Of course I have nothing against gay people!” > And Bodhidharma answers: “Thus do you gain no merit by tolerating them!” https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anything-except-the-outgroup/ https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anythin...
