    It’s different for everyone, but some people will only admit they’re wrong to compassionate people.

    People will fight their enemies, but they’re willing to let their guard down among friends.

    I think that’s one of the reasons why MLK Jr got killed. His enemies didn’t know how to fight him or his beliefs. He forced people to view each other as humans and that’s a tough pill to swallow for people who don’t have a capacity to give or ask for forgiveness.

      I don’t think we have to tolerate those people though either.

      It’s called the paradox of intolerance and was pretty simply solved:

      Tolerance is a contract. If someone isn’t participating, you do not have to participate with them.

      In fact, I think that being tolerant to the intolerant is akin to being complicit. Who would want to tolerate people who are disrespecting your established cultural norms of freedom and tolerance??

      Disrespectful + anti American + dated + impedes progress
