>>>If you're American and leftist (I mean, left from what's called left here), or Polish but not Catholic, or colonial but gone native, or Jewish but disagreeing with policy of Israel, or Palestinian but agreeing with the Israeli neighbors, or were a communist between the 1920s and 1950s but disagreed with Stalin, you're black sheep as well, there's nothing new. Intolerance makes politics. It's also a way to keep the ideas from being diluted.

It is very simple. Actually, I gave you easier question, initially. You said: "If you're American and leftist (I mean, left from what's called left here)... ". What about rightists? Let say members of some White supremacist and/or Nazi group. Are they also "victims of intolerance' for you?
