Remember the days when tolerance and appreciating new perspectives and differences of opinion were considered a virtue?

@freemo NO BUT DON’T YOU SEE TOLERANCE IS A PARADOX SO YOU HAVE TO BE INTOLERANT
Intolerance is the only true tolerance, duh!
2 + 2 = 5 for sufficiently large values of two
Tolerance is absolutely a virtue for sufficiently intolerant definitions of tolerant.
I am not suggesting you should be tolerant of everything, No one needs to be tolerant of literal Nazis for example. But when everyone and everything that disagrees with you looks like a Nazi.....
It would depend on what exactly we agree "nationalist socialism" entails... wanting to commit genocide is certainly the **biggest** reason their evil, but it may not be the only one.
For the nazi specifically? The murder and oppression of pretty much anything that isnt seen as the "norm" in society from minotiries to gays. The banning (or rather enforcement of such bans) on guns, freedom of speech, right to assemble. There are TONS of bad things they did that goes beyond simply killing the Jews.
Sure America has... when did I ever claim America was the good guys?
Everything at every level is a balance. Even in the USA where free speech (And the tolerance that goes with it) is a primary right. Yet even in america tolerance has its limits, and there are in fact quite a few restrictions with regards to the appropriate way to express your rights.
Personally I don't think we should tolerate everyone. Or even certain ideas. But at the same time I am at odds with the values that my country (or the western world in general) choose to be intolerant of. Or perhaps more accurately, the ones they choose to tolerate that they shouldn't.
