Tolerance is just an extension of the social contract. Intolerant people are actively violating the social contract and, as such, are not eligible for the benefits such a contract provides. This has been settled law for millennia. Live and let live... or else.
Grade 9 level understanding of anthropology right here
The problem is ppl disagree on what represents tolerance. i.e: letting a trans compete in sport can be tolerance of gender diversity, while at the same time intolerance of competition rules.
Sometimes one cannot know what is someone fighting intolerance gonna end up doing. Germans had been too tolerant of jewish wealthy elite until nazis had enough of it. Hitler was democratically elected and crimes begun only after that.
This is a racist take that does not reflect historical facts.
So you think nazis decided to genocide out of the blue?

This was before 1930 bud.
I didn't know this specifics, but after reading that I'm still waiting further explanation. Each party had own guerilla and wikipedia didn't mention especially bloody SA behaviour.
2000 SA vs 130 police = deads 15 vs 4 is a pretty normal protest clash outcome. I believe they killed also some more jews, but from that to a concentration camp there is a difference.
Oh no! Won't somebody think of the rules?!
Rules don't have rights. People do. When the rules don't respect people's rights, then the rules have to change.
