It lays out the case for the paradox of tolerance... basically, when and where it's acceptable. Short version: you can only be tolerant of ideas that effectuate change. All of this stuff emphasizes Praxis (activism) over any other ideal. The sooner conservatives, moderates, and liberals understand that we aren't using the same language, the better. We all need to form a coalition against this non-sense.

To progressives, tolerance means not just acceptance, but agreeing with everything they spew out of their mouth and whatever rolls off their fingertips. If you are a " you do you" kind of person, but dont openly support and agree with everything they say, you are a bigot/hater.

It must be hard to live with all of that noise in their heads. These generations coming up have been taught their whole lives, starting in the womb, that their feelings mean more than anything. You hurt their feelings and you may as well have run over their pet of choice with a lawnmower. The meltdowns are tragic. 

And that's just the liberal progressive mindset default setting. Throw in all the ideology and it's chaos. 

I'm more of a 'you do you and let me do me' kind of person, but I admit it's getting harder to have that mindset when the idiocy and hypocrisy of the progressive left becomes more mainstream acceptable. It's hard to have a strong opinion about something and not want to verbalize. The thing is, at some point those of us who usually leave people be to do their thing have to take a stand against the crazy. 

I'm older than many here but not as old as others and things are just assbackwards from my upbringing which, thanks to divorces and remarriages with kids involved, was a constantly varied and fluid environment, so to say I was raised by conservative-only parents would be a lie but that was the stronger....influence if you will though I was not influenced politically at all. That was never discussed at home.
