I'm not sure I can tolerate tolerance much longer. It's too hard to know what to tolerate.

I'm still trying to figure out why we're supposed to excuse the Aztecs for their human sacrifice because it was a valid part of their culture but not excuse the Spanish for wiping out the Aztecs even though that was a perfectly valid part of the culture of the Spaniards?

That's what I love about cultural and moral relativism and intolerance of intolerance. The whole philosophy collapses under the weight of itself if you actually apply it even-handedly rather than as a cynical way to promote a specific agenda.
