Must the tolerant tolerate the intolerant ?

Answer 1

isn't that what being tolerant means?

Answer 2

A better question is, what makes the tolerant tolerant? In my experience, "tolerance" is a euphemism for deliberately discriminating against traditional norms in favor of non-traditional ones that are conducive to a particular political ideology. Also, typically, "intolerance" is often a stereotype used to label those who do not tow the party line of "tolerance."

For example, if group A was racially diverse and harmonious, and diverse/harmonious along the other EEOC-dictated lines (and even along some others), but they were economically conservative, or a part of any other political persuasion that was not deemed "tolerant," they would therefore suddenly transform into evil white male bigots, because "that's all they could possibly be."

Don't laugh, this happens often, and it is why I have a distaste for the "tolerant" folk, because they are inherently hypocritical.

Answer 3

According to Buddhism, there are no "musts" really, but such a thought process comes by default from understanding, at least on an intellectual level, the causes and conditions of what makes people "intolerant". Once you understand and have compassion for the reasons that they're "intolerant" and where the label of "intolerant" is really coming from (which is often our own minds actually, since such people don't often perceive themselves as being what YOU label them as) everything else falls into place.

Answer 4

The "all-tolerant" must tolerate all to be called "all-tolerant", but it is acceptable to be in the habit of being tolerant (aka, "tolerant"), and intolerate somethings, such as those who are mostly intolerant.

I think that's the world's record for most non-gratuitous use of the word "tolerant" in a sentence.

Answer 5

i myself like Pirate AM™'s answer. i think of it incredibly is obvious that keeping an suggestions-set of tolerance in any respect costs is in simple terms as undesirable because of the fact the spirit of intolerance. the two extremes pose a gamble to the easy rights and freedoms that one and all human beings in loose societies take exhilaration in. Europe and the united kingdom are vacationing down an incredibly risky direction recently. The ought to comprehend o.k. what the extremes of tolerance and intolerance lead as much as. Attitudes preferable as much as WWII: Neville Chamberlain and a super type of western ecu leaders= passive, susceptible tolerance. Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany = severe, extreme intolerance. end result......war, loss of existence, melancholy. Nuff stated.

Answer 6
