Tolerance is self defeating.
Tolerance is a movement that ultimately works against itself. Example:
•Person A believes in tolerance, and is teaching a class on it.
•Person B believes tolerance is a load of bull malarkey, and is in the class, and decides to teach others in the class his opinion on tolerance.
Person A must now either remain tolerant of Person B, and allow them to undermine their efforts, or be intolerant of Person B's opinion, undermining themselves.
So what do we do? We generally accept that the avg person's opinion on most things should be tolerated if not respected. But we have already established a position of 100% tolerance is self defeating.
The answer is simple. Take things issue by issue, case by case. Find your own position, figure out what opposing positions are tolerable, and which ones aren't.
Being tolerant of all gets you nowhere, being intolerant of all gets you nowhere too. You must balance the two to achieve a healthy world outlook that is accepting of new ideas but not permitting of absurdity and extremism.

1 ReplyI was about to say that you were shunting things into a black and white label. It's never a good idea. Generally, it's a good rule of thumb to remain tolerant to most, but when you're being stepped on or the threat is there, then that's when you have to try something else. Unfortunately for us, that's how it goes. You can try to be as decent as you can but there's always that one asshole out there. At which point you do what you have to.
