    I feel like intolerance is kind of a wildcard. The initial intolerance could be anything from asking an ignorant question to trying to start a genocide, and the responding intolerance is much the same.

    It’s kind of like having a function that ignores the parameters and just gives a random response to intolerance. We agree because we’ve actually mapped the initial action to our reaction, so we know that with this input we get this other output.

    Did I explain my objection well enough this time? I know it’s probably me not knowing how to explain it properly.

      Yeah, this makes sense. Would you feel better about the this: “It’s ok to punch fascists”? Using the common definition for all these terms. I know this is slightly different from what OP was posting about.

        It depends on the fascist? Common language suggests they’re, what? None of them have real political ideals.

        I’m good with punching people that use slurs or rhetoric to attack others,

          Fascists want power to hurt people. They think they are making the world a better place by “removing” a “bad” group of people.

          When do you start punching these people? If never, they are going to kill and harm a lot of people.

            So, you start punching when they get credibly threatening. We let them be fucky and loud and when it gets violent or close to, we do damage.

              Yes, I have no problem with that. I think we only need to target people who spread fascist ideology to a wide and/or large audience. The average fascist Joe, has very little reach and it would look bad if it seemed like random nobodies were being targeted.

              Edit: When I say the average fascist Joe. I mean the average person who is a fascists. Not anyone named Joe. Sorry for any confusion.
