The Paradox of Tolerance disappears
if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.
If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it.
In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.
Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.
inspired by&Tolerance is not a moral precept by Yonatan Zunger

Liberals have sided with fascists since the existence of the term, so I know you're copping to being annoying but I'd really just take a seat on this one.

And yet when faced with the opportunity to keep them out of power in 2016, you decided their leader was to the left of Hillary.

At the rate he's going by the general election Trump is going to be the left of Hillary on a bunch of issues.

Detectorists. Very quiet, very gentle show about a group of people who make a hobby of metal-detecting. No one is too smart, or too stupid. They just feel nicely human. Plus there’s a running Simon & Garfunkel joke that somehow never gets old.

From Detectorists. Lance says, "Saxon hoard. It's basically the Holy Grail of treasure hunting." Andy replies, "Well, no. The Holy Grail is the Holy Grail of treasure hunting."

This is the only conspiracy theory I will entertain, if only because the idea of someone directing the moon landing either through countless single-camera takes per shot, or from a video switcher, tickles the production part of my brain.

Stanley Kubrick was hired to fake the moon landing, but his perfectionism made them film it on location on the moon.

*And* gave up the land that became the Oklahoma panhandle so they could be admitted to the Union as a slave state.

Paragraph from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_panhandle) describing the creation of the Oklahoma panhandle:

When Texas sought to enter the Union in 1845 as a slave state, federal law in the United States, based on the Missouri Compromise, prohibited slavery north of 36°30' north latitude. Under the Compromise of 1850, Texas surrendered its lands north of 36°30, rather than have a portion of the state as “free” territory. The 170-mile strip of land, a “neutral strip,” was left with no state or territorial ownership from 1850 until 1890. It was officially called the “Public Land Strip” and was commonly referred to as “No Man’s Land.”
