Tolerance of hate, is the price you pay for freedom. You would do well to remember that when you pick your next leaders, after murdering the last lot that didnt agree with you...
This is bullshit. Tolerance is no moral imperative, it's a social contract. Members of a society tolerate one another to keep things moving freely; to avoid conflicts between people of different races/genders/political views/backgrounds, etc. We are under no obligation to respect the views of someone who wishes to upend the social contract of tolerance by not tolerating those around them. It's called the tolerance paradox.
No thats a fact. Because anyone who is not a spoon eating cunt knows that it wont always be the right kind of people at the top. I mean, you were all told repeatedly for years that Row was a weak piece of law. But you just shouted those warnings down as being repressive, and sexist. Maybe if you had all taken the warning, it wouldnt have been so easy to pull down.
You dont set up your stall with the best people in mind. You set it up with the worst. That way, you know they cant fuck you over later.
