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?

If one of them goes liberal and his group exacts revenge upon him for that, that's what I was talking about. To them, he is a traitor.

Anything else you tried to imply does not apply to what I said. All the examples I listed were about possible cases where one can be perceived as a traitor by his peers. And, IMO, the African American community shunning their own who refuse to speak the way the community prefers, or women who prefer the patriarchal attitudes - well, their communities perceive them as traitors and go after them - by critique, or stronger measures.

I don't think I passed any judgment on any of the groups I mentioned; I tried to pull examples across the spectrum only to show that the mechanism is the same, regardless of the political or cultural color of the group. If it looked that I had any preferences, it was unintended.

update: ah, you may think I was talking about the group vs wider society? No, this was about group vs renegade members.
