@aral there's a difference between acceptable and tolerable. Tolerance doesn't solve these issues ofc but it smooths any necessary changes. -
@aral and Culture has this role, to make the unacceptable tolerable, and that is quite better than the alternative, which is War.

@aral This is why I am suspicious of liberalism. But can we even have liberalism without unearned privilege? Can we get there sans horror? -
@aral btw I take "liberalism" classically, not as the US-American mass media (and their damned audience) purports to understand the word.
