 in the end read the post. Theres to be considered that "a long form post as a photo" is terrible ux, most people on phone cant practically read it.

Regarding the post I think that the tolerance is the best path for ourselves. I was wrong many times in my life, and I gained much from consider other perspective and see if there were better way to go. So, if they left other people alone, intolerance is a problem of the intolerants, they will be damaged by their choices.
When they "dont left people alone" starts real problems to be aware of...

 yeah, agree, but the photo was my fourth attempt to get engagement. I posted long form and via Highlighter first. Just experimenting. 

And yes, tolerance requires the strength to absorb the discomfort of dissent and not attack the person for disagreeing with you. That strength was lacking in a certain class of people, so much so they not only excommunicated you but wanted even the excommunicated to comply.

 agree, but I distinguish people who are irremediably lost and act maliciously to me, and people that are just confused and vaguely statists. 
From these last people, I try to get the best I can, maybe there are other fields where we can enrich each others. 
Lot of my friends and families are normies vaguely-statists, but they just elaborate the world they know with their competences, they are not bad people. And most of the time, I just feel bad for them and their "incapacity", so far from hate them.

When I was younger I was a lot of things and thinked a lot of things that now I consider bullshits. But I was just ignorant and confused, most people are.
