sorry i got my rhetoric ™️ wrong last time i am just attempting to illustrate the thesis of Tolerance is not a moral precept by Yonatan Zunger so check that out if ur curious thanks babes <3

[Tolerance] is an agreement to live in peace, not an agreement to be peaceful no matter the conduct of others. A peace treaty is not a suicide pact.

The side of intolerance will never extend you the courtesy of peaceful co-existence that you try to extend to them. If you give them a hand they'll take an arm. Give them the chance to talk and they'll take away your right to speak. You fundamentally can't make peace with someone who wants nothing more than to see you disappear.
