I feel like it's been ages since anyone on the left or even vaguely progressive used language like 'tolerance.' Why do conservatives still think it's an incredibly savvy move to try and show people are intolerant of bigotry?

Indeed. I didn't think of it like that til your comment, but tolerance with the connotation that what you're being tolerant of is bad (tolerant of migrants) has moved on in favour of more positive terms like inclusiveness.

Up to 20 senators are lining up to back a push to remove the words “insult” and “offend” from the Racial Discrimination Act, including every Liberal and National backbencher in the upper house, bar one. The Liberal senator Cory Bernardi has been courting support for a private member’s bill he intends to bring to the Senate this week and Coalition sources say his efforts have yielded significant backbench support, with only the new Victorian Liberal senator Jane Hume declining to sign up. The backbenchers are revolting! And so are the front benchers!

Now this is actually ironic in the Decoding Authoritarians: A Schizophrenic explains crazy people thread they are tying themselves up in knots to demand economic intolerance of racists. I put it down to youthful black/white (not a pun) thinking myself. Intolerance of bigotry is not hypocritical, but the use of bigotry as a political weapon certainly is.

Gotta loving love that we live in a country where there's more political push to repeal an amendment that a total of one person has ever been found guilty of than passing something that has widespread support that affects an unmeasurable yet considerable proportion of the population.

SynthOrange posted:Federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has been accused of intolerance and "brutal" language towards people opposed to same-sex marriage, in a confrontation with a rector outside a church service this morning. THE Anglican rector who confronted Bill Shorten in a Canberra churchyard today has previously warned same-sex marriage would lead to polygamy. Ian Powell, of suburban Canberra’s St Matthew’s, has also said some gay people might be “wired” for paedophilia. His comments were made in a July 2015 speech billed as “Same sex marriage and Jesus of Nazareth – are they friends or foes?” It was recorded by the City Bible Forum. “How can plural marriage be resisted if same-sex marriage comes in?” Mr Powell said in the address. “Frankly, it cannot be resisted and when people say it’s not even going to come to the table they’re just … they’re either ignorant or fibbing because we know from all around the world it is. “Read your New York Times.” In the same speech, he covered the suggestion same-sex marriage might be used to justify the actions of someone “in love with children”. Mr Powell argued some would claim this was acceptable and vilify those who object. “I’m not saying homosexuality is the same thing as paedophilia at all but what I am saying is we do know that there are certain … we say no that you may feel love, you may be wired that way but our society for whatever reason says no.”
