    tolerance is a requirement for society to function

    No it isn’t. Watch this. I stopped reading there because I’m indifferent to anything you have to say about it. And while that may annoy you now, eventually you will realize that it doesn’t affect you negatively whatsoever, this is how entire world works right now, you’re practically unaware of things happening outside your own street right now, and it works just fine.

    Everyone lives in their own small bubble, some people have only their family and their job. Some have that just more friends… But in the end most people pass by eachother without any reaction between one another whatsoever. Everyone has their own problems to deal with and frankly they are busy dealing with them and not caring about others. People who have no problems of their own can go and try pester others about theirs are very fortunate I guess, but that’s neither normal nor a thing that should be pushed onto everyone.

      Very cute of you, but I’ve got bigger worries than whether or not internet strangers care about my opinion. Enjoy your bubble.

        Did you just… Agree with me? But somehow were unable to realize it?

        Indifference won.

          Naw, it’s just the healthiest way I’ve found to approach people online. Lead with earnestness and a desire to understand, don’t sweat it when people shut you out - helps with finding the good folks in a hostile world. If you’re so truly indifferent, why respond in the first place?

            Because indifference is a word that doesn’t stand on its own, it’s a noun that requires another noun to be relevant in a different context. It’s not my job to teach you English language in the first place so I’m not sure what’s so perplexing to you, but it’s literally not my problem if you thought that indifference implies indifference to other people because those are two different things, believe me or not, there are many things you can be indifferent to and the fact I have to explain this to you makes it look like you never spoke to another human in real life before.

            Like seriously, you cannot fathom talking to someone, and being so indifferent to other person’s political views that you never bring it up? You can’t be indifferent to what food they like when you aren’t going to go eat food together? You couldn’t possibly care less about what books they like if you can’t even read?

            You really need the “beautiful” word “tolerance” for all of this to mentally masturbate yourself instead about every topic that you couldn’t give a fuck about to feel better about yourself instead?

              I get on with a lot of people irl, across the political spectrum. I don’t tend to bring up politics unless it’s already being discussed. Unfortunately, my existence is somewhat political so it gets brought up for me. I wish it wasn’t like that, but I do have to deal with people who would rather I don’t exist and that is not something I can be indifferent toward. The only thing I ask for when I ask for tolerance, is the benefit of the doubt. It’s not a way to feel better about myself, it’s self-preservation.

              I don’t yet understand why you’re so pissed off, why you assume so much about someone over the internet you’ve never met, or why you talk like you’re forced to respond to me. With respect - you’re interesting.

      Hey wow, I didn’t catch this earlier, but you’re a hypocrite too. Doing the exact thing here you tried to call me out for almost word for word, right about at the same time. Incredible. You truly are a piece of work
