RE: THE GUISE OF TOLERANCE

in #tolerance8 years ago

Freedom means freedom of association. This means also that people must be free to disassociate themselves from others, whether their reason for this separation is rational or not.

I can be tolerant of idiots who don't use coercion to back their idiotic ideas. I probably won't choose to associate with them, though.

I can't be tolerant of puritanical, authoritarian busybody control freaks.

Sort:  

We certainly do need the freedom to (dis)associate, hopefully without any hatred being involved.
