Being tolerant of intolerance is not a virtue

Some people seem to think that judging and being intolerant are the worst possible things you can be. Really, so there's nothing you judge, nothing you're intolerant of? Nothing you consider morally reprehensible? Do you believe morality is objective or relative?

We live in an intolerant age. The most intolerant people style themselves ‘liberals’

@Mathers That does't sound like a very tolerant statement to me.

Statement of fact @SW-User
SW-User
@Mathers Nah
@Mathers That’s inaccurate. The people who consider intolerance merely being "politically incorrect" and are [b]proud[/b] of it, are largely politically conservative. Traditionalists, with the tradition of exclusion.

No you are completely wrong there. It’s the so-called ‘progressives’ who are intolerant. @bijouxbroussard

@Mathers Lmao
@Mathers You are confused. Progressives are only intolerant of intolerance. Conservatives are the ones who don’t want U.S. history taught about (not even Martin Luther King, Jr’s life & work), and they deny the Holocaust, because they worry that past oppression makes them look bad. And perhaps it does. But it has to be remembered, so it won’t be repeated.

Sorry but you are entirely up the pole.@bijouxbroussard
@Mathers British, eh ? That explains it, then. In the U.S. conservatives have been the traditionalists, pro-slavery, pro-Jim Crow, pro-racial segregation. The progressives have supported [b]progress[/b], e.g., the abolition of slavery; they’ve been at the forefront of the Civil Rights movement. And this has been so even when there were Northern [b]Republican[/b] progressives and Southern Democratic conservatives ("Dixiecrats").

Ah just someone brainwashed by the liberal press over there. Thought so@bijouxbroussard
@Mathers Actually, these are facts recorded by segregationist conservative records, in our archives, back before Southerners realized they were on the wrong side of history and would have to explain things to their grandchildren. Not unlike the chickens that came home to roost after colonialism on [b]your[/b] side of the pond.

Oh for goodness sake you just believe every single piece of your silly liberal press. Just get a life and read some proper history.@bijouxbroussard
@Mathers No, that’s just your bias and intolerance talking, which doesn’t surprise me, either. Like most conservatives, you’re embarrassed and ashamed of the facts, so you have to pretend. The truth will set you free.
Mathers · 61-69
You are so funny in that you have no clue what you’re talking about. The fact that you are being brainwashed by the liberal media. Get out of this and read some things which are less biased@bijouxbroussard
@Mathers You should take your own advice, seriously. I feel rather sorry for you. You keep talking about "liberal" media like a robot, because you can’t comprehend that you’ve been fed the lies. But the truth will set you free, if you can bear to learn it.
@Mathers Yeah, take a look at some of the books banned by US conservatives! These are the books they just can't TOLERATE!!
[b]LOL!!![/b]

@Mathers ask Liz Cheney what happens when you don’t bow down to dear leader?

You are the most intolerant person on SW so you provide the role model! 👏👏👏@Ryderbike
@Mathers Actually, looks like [b]you’re [/b] wearing that particular crown. And all can see it. 👑

Oh boy! You need just to look in the mirror. Liberals today are the ones who demonstrate against free speech. Happened at a university campus the other day. Wouldn’t allow free speech. @bijouxbroussard
@Mathers Free speech was banned in teaching CRT.
@Mathers What exactly "Happened at a university campus the other day"? What campus, what day?? Or did you just make that up???

Conservatives demonstrate their "tolerance" by banning books, [b]LOL!!![/b] Here are 50 books Texas parents want banned from school libraries as of Feb 2022:

Speaker heckle down by the so-called ‘progressives.’ @ElwoodBlues
@Mathers ROTFL!!! I tried to google that:

[quote] Your search - "Speaker heckle down by the so-called ‘progressives.’" - did not match any documents. [/quote]

Oh, but maybe you made a typo. I tried again:
[quote]Your search - "Speaker heckled down by the so-called ‘progressives.’" - did not match any documents.[/quote]

DUUUDE!!! Your bluff turned into a lie, and now you've been caught and exposed lying, [b]ROTFL!!![/b]
