People have hated for thousands of years, and we've made it this far. Have some optimism.

Mandating tolerance is about as likely to work as using a sieve to bail water out of a boat.

People have silenced dissidents for thousands of years too, why aren't you willing to be optimistic about that?
I am. Dissenting speech will continue long after Cloudflare is acquired/out of business/etc.

I'm only here to draw light to hypocrisy.

This isn't mere hate, and I'm not "mandating tolerance" either. I'm mandating you at least read people like Hannah Arendt and Sebastian Haffner instead of you projecting your naivety on me.
