Intolerance of ideas and opinions (or people based on those opinions) is inherently bad, if it means excluding people from a debate or public discourse, or denying them other rights in public society (which should be obvious). But if you are consistent in your application of said framing, other forms of intolerance (like how you pick your social circle) seem morally practical. The problem is that almost no human seems to be capable of the consistency. For example, do you invest the same emotional energy being intolerant of Brandon Eich as you do toward people who say "ACAB"?
