>>20592181my image didn't answer anything. I was asking what tolerant people tolerate not whether it's ok to be intolerant of nazis or whatever. Now that I have time I will elucidate a bit on tolerance for the idiots.
Tolerance is always directed at something, the problem is figuring out what are the prerequisites for it to take place. Generally, most philosophers accept the three component model:
in order for something to count as being tolerated one must
1. have an objection to the thing being tolerated. Without this component, "tolerance" is just pure indifference or acceptance.
2. there are enough positive reasons for tolerating the thing without removing the objection component.
3. there needs to be a limit to the toleration. At what point do the reasons for rejecting the thing outweigh the reasons for accepting it?
If it doesn't have these components then I'm afraid you aren't actually tolerating anything. If you don't accept this then you will have to explain how you tolerate your neighbor's children eating breakfast (how toleration = indifference)
