    Tolerance is not a value, it’s a mutual social contract.

    If these people are not willing to give it, they can’t expect to receive it when it’s convenient.

      This is a callous, zero-sum, losing strategy.

      If somebody is in a position where Tate appeals to them, my criticism of Tate’s brainwashing combined with criticism of those who ridicule lonely people will be more influential than this meme’s ridicule of lonely people for being desperate enough to fall prey to brainwashing.

      These lonely people are trapped between two hostile forces. I am drawing attention to that.
