Im intelligent and society pretty much muzzled me with no remorse because of my temper and I tried being nice then I got smashed in the balls till I passed out by thugs
Then society takes the muzzle off and then treats me like I hit myself in the balls or whatever and blames me when I did nothing.

I will wait until they defect. There are other priorities right now. If one of them is on the side of the road starving, I'll feed them. That is all the grace I can muster. They did not have grace when they chose the deaths and suffering of countless people. People will starve or worse. No trust.

My politeness is directly proportional and related to others. It starts at a baseline and adjusts from there.

There is no crime in being rude.

In human history the opposite is generally true. Despite our hopes, and occasional small-scale personal victories, this never leads to change.

It's also okay to be rude to people who want your friends to die.
I have a lot of friends that happen to be Transgender.
People that can't stand that they're equal to anyone else deserve to have their genes sequenced. So that they can prove to the 0 people that will ask, that they're indeed unique.

Yes, I know that won't make them shut up. But maybe sequencing enough genes can discover something good for humankind as a whole (cures to inherited diseases like Diabetes, etc.), and I can't think of any other way to make a right-wing person a contributing member of society.

Correct. The paradox of intolerance

You cannot be infinitely tolerant, as tolerance of intolerance will breed more intolerance.

No room for bigotry in this world.

the paradox dissolves when you realize that tolerance is a peace treaty.

People who refuse to abide by the peace treaty aren't, well, covered by the peace treaty.
