Guys, at this rate I don't think the revolution's going to happen anytime soon.

Here, it's what I hoped was obvious shorthand for a subjective value set with no clear, well-defined boundaries of what is or is not defined for the practice of tolerance.

Most descriptions of tolerance are set by simply being allowed to exist, or a set of principles which are a bit nebulous in practice, like how the UN tries to define it.

Do you have a favorite courtroom-ready definition of the words "tolerance" and "intolerance" that would apply in every state equally to show anyone what they can and can't say with perfect objective clarity? I would love to hear it.

So when people are defining the term with the absence of the opposite of the term, it means the term is ultimately being used to define itself.
