"surprising" is one thing.

but it's downright _scary_ how people get so _zealous_ once they firmly believe they are "objectively right".

i don't know if i'm happy or sad this tendency has been adopted by the leftwingers. of course it will help them to battle the rightwingers (who always felt "righteous"), and let me be crystal clear i want the rightwing crushed, but i can't help but think that something has been lost.

i'm unsure you can _beat_ intolerance _with_ intolerance.

p.s. go ahead and downvote this; it will prove my point.
