    Group A: “I am intolerant of (group) because they need to go back to their own country and not live in mine.”

    Group B: “I am intolerant of (group) because they don’t tolerate other ethnicities.”

    This guy: “but who was intolerant first?”

      Wrong question. It doesn’t matter who was “first”.

      If the first group stops, the problem is gone.
      If the second group stops, the problem is not gone but likely growing.

        You both completely miss the argument. Cile is strawmanning, vas is again viewing from the omniscient or opposing viewpoint.

        Virtually all intolerants perceive themselves as victims. Permitting “intolerance of intolerance” is just accelerationist, “might makes right” ideology.
