      Intolerance for intolerance has led to this. They just hide in their safe spaces spreading their hate unopposed.

        Guess you wanted to say that lack of intolerance for intolerance has led to this. Even I remember this idiotic tactic of “do something bad --> pretend it was a joke” and it was fucking working. Still is. Hate per se is not what has made societies ugly

          No the lack of tolerance allows it to grow. If they were able to do it in public where it’s called out then it wouldn’t grow.

          Instead it exists in echo chambers that cannot be countered.

            What? They’re literally doing it in public now, and it’s clearly making everything worse. The world was a better place when these people were properly shamed back into the holes they came out of.

                    Ok. So we are back to square one: tolerance is a pact: I tolerate <range of things> from people who also tolerate <range of things>. Whoever violates this agreement - be ready that I may knock their teeth out and cut out their genital organs. This is how it should be, but way too many people fool themselves into “I must tolerate everything” bullshit

        We’ve had super-abundant tolerance for intolerance. We literally hanged people like Charlie Kirk at Nuremberg on charges of crimes against humanity and incitement to genocide.

          I feel like you’re missing some pretext to Nuremberg and should look at what was going on in Germany in the years leading up to it.
