Tolerance is the definition of liberalism. Liberals are supposed to have open minds.
I am actually NOT generalizing at all, I am focusing on specific types, that is the opposite of generalization.
Your statement immediately before saying that this is not a generalization IS a generalization. When one ascribes a strict set of traits or values to a diverse group in which there is no way to assess how close in opinion every person in that group is to the other, one is generalizing.
The social justice warrior faction is NOT diverse at all, Zeke.
That's their problem. Diversity is NOT tolerated in the far out regressive left in any way whatsoever. Example after example abounds where one can observe all nails that stick up, getting pounded down or shouted out of the area in order to protect their "safe spaces".
Extremes occur in almost any human grouping. Whenever they target the quashing of dissent they are wrong. My point is: they result from very different causes and the causes are important if one wishes to stop and correct them.
When one lumps all such extremes into the same bin, one runs the risk of creating yet another extreme which does nothing to help correct the original problem, it only exacerbates them making a solution that much more difficult.
The difference again, is in kind. Thus, the solutions will necessarily be different.
So don't read this as a justification of any extreme that aims to silence dissent. Read it as a clarification of how to deal with and understand and attempt to correct it.
Such is the world we live in and such are the people that inhabit it. Filled with nuance and not at all "black and white", as Trump would have it.
