I Have No Tolerance For Bullshit

To all the fascists, racists, homophobes and the rest scum of the Earth, wondering why people don't tolerate their bullshit and why they're not allowed to practice hate speech freely, even though we're supposed to be democratic:
[quote] Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. [...] We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. [/quote]-Karl Popper

The only issue I can see is the subjective interpretation of intolerance.

@okaybut Antonio Gramski, the grandfather of all this thought literally had the view of ‘anything that allows a society that I don’t control to function is fascist’. It’s a demonic doctrine that destroys any kind of functioning group under the guise of good intentions.
