    The whole tolerance false dichotomy thing lacking nuance.

      Not really. It’s the same principle as being able and willing to defend yourself, or being antifascist. Those who bring violence and cause harm can no longer be tolerated, given concessions, or be treated amicably in any way.

      I understand the whole Ghandi approach and “an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”, I understand that Daryl Davis’ approach is effective to convert racists, but that only applies in the assumption that we all have protected human rights. We can’t afford to be converting racists 1 at a time when millions of victims are being sent off to labour camps for profit.
