      "Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.

      In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise." - Karl Popper

      Heres an extended quote conveniently people tend to leave out the second part. If they are not a risk to public order they are successfully being countered by rational argument and public opinion. Once they step over that line charge em but untill then i say let em be. Respect their right to be dumbasses cunts.
