Tolerance is a two-way deal. You only get what you give.

That's not true. Read Karl Popper, the paradox of tolerance, in: "The Open Society And Its Enemies", Vol. I

I'll look into your book, but you realize you're telling me my opinion is wrong?

co--ko.bsky.social•116 days ago

If I believe you are wrong, it's my part to give you good, justified reasons why I think so and try to convince you and make you change your mind. That's how it works, isn't it?

I can't find PoT on the web in full text, but I read a summary. low and behold, it's basically what I said, but with more nuance and some extra words.

Also, the message of that book is the same as yours: tolerance cannot tolerate intolerance because it will lead to the end of tolerance

Frankly I think they just misunderstood what you were saying, you both actually agree

You can not have a deal if one party is going to kill the other.

It's by definition not a deal with genocidal maniacs, that's exactly the point.

That is how social contracts work. If you can not agree to not kill me, then fuck you I owe you nothing and I will treat you as the threat you are.

Tolerance isn't a license to cause or advocate for harm.
