There's no contract, there's a social norm to be tolerant. And if you're intolerant you've violated that social norm. That includes if you're intolerant of the intolerant.
That norm only applies to the ones that follow that norm.
Right, so if you're intolerant of anybody, including intolerant people, you're not following that norm.
Wrong.
You tolerate the tolerants, I tolerate you. You don't tolerate tolerants, I don't tolerate you.
And by default, everyone is tolerant until proven intolerant.
Which means you're not tolerant, and people should not tolerate you.
Tolerance is not an absolute.
I tolerate them.
So, you tolerate people who are intolerant?
I tolerate that one.
