- happytoexplain 6y agoCan you explain how you see the two things as conflicting? They both seem natural to me.
- rbecker 6y agoTolerance becoming the dominant ideology in an intolerant society is much easier than merely remaining dominant in an already tolerant society. If it could do the former while society tolerated intolerance, then surely it can do the latter.
- klyrs 6y agoThere was this thing called the Holocaust. It made a lot of people think. Certain members of the far right think that it's still cool to spout antisemitic propaganda that was the precursor to, and the platform which supported, the Holocaust. A tolerant society won't want to relive that history, and folks will exercise their right of free association to deplatform such intolerance.
