I agree, thank you for giving me the word to this and giving an explaination too
I just believe that there are ways to systemetically prove both of these things independently and I am not sure about the XHTML and other debate but here is my thoughts on "tolerance" itself
I don't think that there is an inherent purpose is life, we have to build one for ourselves, what is the most rare thing in the universe, its not any material or power or anything worth having but rather friendships and enjoyments and treating people as the ends and not means to something. (My own summary-ish from Everything is fcked by Mark manson, not the best writer but I was young when I read the book and so maybe I can recommend it)
Then reading about how to win friends and influence people, One of the key points I took from it is to be more agreeable and try to find common points you can work upon and set aside the differences and thus tolerance and there are 10 s of example from the book where I can share but basically debates help noone if they become petty, if we have disagreements they should be respectful in a way...
These are my views on how to treat everyone equally I guess which I might wish to be applied to myself too so thats why I apply it too others or try to in a way too
Personally I hate extremism from both sides since I feel that its bad but I can understand why people can get extremism from both sides and I try to give them chances to try to improve the situation from mediocre opinions if someone is too extremist from any side if I can be honest.
I think extremism in general is bad I guess tho. Fck social media for making everyone nowadays so extremist tho. The only people I am extremist towards is big tech when you realize that facebook targets young girls and sees if they delete their photos, they are insecure and shoves beauty ads on their face.
This behaviour is really sickening and I think we can all agree that.
