[2] wasn't meant as a question, but as a demonstration that who is tolerant or intolerant can be, in some cases, entirely subjective. Apply some clever rhetoric to make your opponent the intolerant one, and you not only win the debate, but prohibit his view from even being discussed - otherwise, society itself will descend into intolerance!
- nine_k 4y agoIt's pretty objective, in the sense how violent and non-violent is reasonably objective. People who take significant action to have a certain point of view suppressed are intolerant towards it. People who dislike that point of view but restrain themselves and allow others have their despicable ways are tolerant. (And those who don't care are neither, but are considered tolerant by some.)
