You were wondering why I dislike some things?
Post #125 of this thread. That right there is the shit i'm talking about when I piss on the claim that the right is "tolerant" compared to the left.
Please don't drag me into this; for what it's worth, I don't think anyone understands what being "tolerant" actually means anymore. If they, did political discourse wouldn't have deteriorated to the point it has. And yes; I do believe the lion's share of responsibility for that lies squarely on the left, myself included. After all; I didn't speak out when other leftists started acting as if everyone on the right was inherently evil, and deserving of scorn, ridicule, and a punch in the face.
I laughed at the jokes about Bush Jr., I raged at the rights and protections he stripped from the American people, and I voted for Obama, thinking he'd be the one to fix everything; how the hell was I supposed to know he'd preside over the death of tolerance, and do everything he could to hurry it along? Now look where we are; it's not that the right is more tolerant compared to the left, they're just less intolerant, which is not exactly a badge of honor.
You don't like that people are making jokes about killing Communists? Congratulations; neither do I. It's sick, but here's the thing; I feel the same way about all jokes that are about killing anyone, which the left seems to have no issue spamming when it targets "racists", "sexists", "Nazis", the "alt-right", et cetera, et cetera. All of which, I stress, have been labels that have been applied to me, and used as an excuse to threaten me. Even if I was any or all those things; treating me like some sort of sub-human garbage is not "tolerance", not by a long shot.
