If you respect someone, you don't shoo them away.
But that doesn't mean you tolerate a certain thing.
I respect some homosexuals, for instance, but don't tolerate their homosexuality.
Frederick the Great, for instance.
I respect the man and thus would not speak lowly of him, especially not to his face were I so privileged to meet the Prussian Ruler.
Respect, however, is earned.
Tolerance is wantonly distributed.
You can tolerate to listen to a homosexual friend of yours telling you about his day, can't you?
It's not tolerance
i.e. his fucking point
If he were a friend, he would have earned my respect. That's not tolerance.
His homosexuality wouldn't factor.
Hahaha, it's that
I wouldn't tolerate his homosexuality and he would know this.
Our friendship wouldn't hinge on that, however.
we post memes here, sirs
I have a very close pagan friend, for instance.
He knows I think his gods are demons
Respect gives you tolerance as well
We're still friends because he has earned my respect.
This is a failure of the English language.
It's causality, nothing less
To make a compromise, I think what Leviathan and I may be referring to is rather *acceptance,* would you say so, Leviathan?
Tolerance vs. Acceptance.
Of the blind varietal
tbh this entire argument may as well be a meme of itself
Or a how-to on how not to go into an argument misinformed
kek
Acceptance is a choice sounding contraption
@π·ππππππππ Should we define tolerance by its conventional form, rather than it's form as false-virtue, which is better suited to being called Acceptance?
If only because English is inadequate at dealing with these concept differences?
Or would you prefer to use the term hypertolerance?
<:ducc:596750783979061283>
"I accept you for who you are" vs "I tolerate your behavior"
To a hammer ever...
these concepts are not the same
Which is a commonly used term to describe phenomena within communities that are understood as degenerate?
I'd say English is as adequate as any other language at dealing with concepts, yet the majority of its speakers do not utilize much of the vocabulary
