    Tolerance should be the standard.

    Leave people alone and don't give them crap. But you shouldn't be expected to give them a pat on the back for it either.

    Really terrible that anyone vandalized or damaged anything and much worse if violence was threatened. Peaceful disagreement is lost on our nation.

    On a lighter note, I always chuckle at people acting like Target and Walmart aren't the same thing in different packaging.

    Targét is French, or something.

    No seriously though. You’ve seen that “people of Walmart” site? I think most of these angry people just got lost and wandered into the wrong store.

    This is the silliest thing I've ever heard. Stay in the pool long enough and nature tucks your junk for you.

    If only it were only about property and not about creating a climate of fear of violence against persons. Remember part of the "vandalism" was "kill em' all".

    After reading the first line of your post, I though . . . "Quick, someone notify Bluke!" Well, apparently trans threads are like a bat signal for Bluke, cuz I scrolled down to see the first response and . . . .

    I think related given the amount of anger. Jordan Peterson just posted, "After peak stupidity comes violence"

    In response to what you ask? A post about pansexual visibility. Pansexual is basically the new word for bisexual- when ones' sexual attraction to others isn't limited by sex or gender identity. It's not new. Peterson isn't necessarily condoning violence here but seems at the very least to suggest it's an inevitable response. This guy is a psychologist and recognized as a thought leader. Incredible.

    I guess he doesnt consider "peak stupidity" to be the videos he does where he performatively cries talking about Frozen

    Haven't seen that video, but I'm not sure his crying or anger are performative. Nothing wrong with someone being emotional, but for a psychologist and mentor (particularly to men trying to find their path in life), he really does not seem sometimes to have a handle on his emotional state. Maybe it's similar to lawyers not reading their own contracts or hair dressers having bad hair. He has a lot of people that look up to him, and this kind of language is super irresponsible.

    Its kind of his thing, if you google 'Jordan Peterson crying' you get plenty of results. There is nothing wrong with crying, but it seems pretty funny to do when you are discussing some disposable piece of pop culture.

    Just my anecdotal observation, but the clientele in Target & Walmart where I live is wildly different.

    Yeah, it's like Winn Dixie versus Publix where I live. I'm not even sure if the prices are materially different.
