We, socially, tolerate people who don’t violate the social pact. As long as they aren’t hurting anyone. Hurting anyone violates the pact.
The social pact is one of goodwill and non-harm, regardless of impact.
If you can’t keep to that pact, you forget any claim to tolerance because you, yourself, are not holding up the ideals of tolerance. Which include race, creed, religion, whatever, pick a (normal person) thing and we are ok with it!
We let our governments get away with breaking the pact, but… if we didn’t it would be a lot easier to enforce overall…
Tolerance is a social contract. A pact.
