Reply #138: progressives are not necessarily by nature tolerant nor should they be in all cases [View All]

[pitohui]

i consider myself progressive but that doesn't mean i suffer fools gladly

most consider jesus to be progressive in his concern for the poor but i notice he was intolerant of the bullshit from the money changers at the temple

we don't have to tolerate all ideas at all times, it's fine to be intolerant of stupidity, for example, i'm going to call bullshit and be intolerant of global warming denial claptrap for just one example

there are a million places on the internet for people to espouse non progressive views, to be upset that they can't have DU too is their problem
