Reply to comment by AllanfromWales1 in Judith Butler: their philosophy of gender explained by Necessary_Tadpole692

There is such a thing as intolerance of the intolerant. I believe George Orwell talked about how that’s necessary.

Is that a defining feature of contemporary progressives vis-a-vis conservatives though?

Lol, you're circling around your own semantics.

Sorry, you're just wrong, no matter how often you repeat yourself. No matter how many buzzwords you throw in there.

Considering progressives seek to eliminate existing power structures, your comment fundamentally makes no sense
