Which very specific time are you referring to? You just linked to a Wikipedia article on the paradox of intolerance, which even explains how it's not nearly as simple as you present it. And the other article you linked is an opinion piece that shows more of a pattern than a causational relationship.

    I'm clearly referencing the time after the American Civil War when the traitors weren't punished enough.

    ... And there are many years between then and now. I was talking about the last few decades.

    But you know, you have kind of proven my point ITT. You may not be outright chastising anyone, but you're pretty sarcastic with anyone who doesn't agree with you and act like your opinion is the only correct one and anyone with a different one is less than you. People don't like being treated like that, so no wonder they just say "I don't do politics" - because they probably have more self respect than I do.

    It's not my fault that you didn't read my comment that was perfectly clear that the time I was referencing was right after the American Civil War.

    I wasn't being sarcastic despite you reading it that way. You were wrong. Deal with it.
