ANTIFA are in fact fascists. They are violent storm troopers.
The philosophy known as "anti-racism" is just racism under new management.
People who call themselves tolerant are the most tolerant of all.
People who denounce hate are the biggest haters of all.

Very strange and insane times we live in .

Comedy night on city data. Awesome

I meant to say that people who call themselves tolerant are the most intolerant of all.

Would you call yourself tolerant?

Funny enough when it comes to being intolerant full-on freakazoids typically don’t pop up until you go really far to the right, but move only slightly left of center and faces are already turning red and mouths are already starting to froth.

The problem is that tolerance for many people is not a principle that they actually practice, it's an expectation for others. I find that many who use the word the most are often applying it to very selective groups or ideas and not really applying it to themselves. A lot of this is taught in schools. You're supposed to be tolerant of x, y, and z and no need to apply tolerance in any other area of your life. Sort of like the people who seemingly think that bigotry and discrimination only applies to certain classes. Um no, bigotry is a negative way of thinking which goes beyond what has been addressed with case law.
