Some thoughts on Alt-right Trolling.

33. I extend tolerance to ideas and actions that at least don't promote undue harm.

Does the idea or action affect only the person doing or thinking it, or does it also affect others?

Does the idea or action improve the situation for most people, especially those who do not have privilege, or does it in effect, pull a lifeline away from people who are struggling for the benefit of those who are simply "imposed on"?

Is it fair to most people, especially to those who do not have privilege; does it "level the playing field" to give equal opportunity or access based on personal merit rather than external circumstances, such as poverty or associations?

Does the idea or activity do no harm to those with no means to protect themselves? - i.e., children, elderly, the disenfranchised? Or does it ignore them to benefit only those who hold to that idea or activity?

Does the ideal or activity improve society without the requirement to get rid of a significant number of people who are part of that society? Or does it require the collation and actual removal of people who does not fit into arbitrary "politically acceptable" categories from society on a permanent basis to make that ideal or activity "work".
Note: this doesn't refer to social compacts for "politeness" and equal opportunities as intolerant bigotry; it refers to life imprisonment, disenfranchisement, or internment camps based on arbitrary non-compliance.

Does the idea or action impose or remove an undue burden on at least 98% of society - or is it burden-neutral?

No matter what I feel about an idea, activity, or situation - these are the considerations that I calibrate my "tolerance meter" to. But there's way too many people whose tolerance meter is set to "It's all about meeee - so how do I feel about it?"
