Previously similar to "acceptance" but now used to describe any socially acceptable prejudice.
Some people profess their "tolerance" of homosexuals but do not think they should be given the same legal rights as heterosexuals.

The extremely rare art of just not giving a single fuck.
Daniel: Dude, I just fucked Jacob’s girlfriend and he did absolutely nothing.

Mike: Oh yeah, he just has absurdly high tolerance

1. Your ability to stand something. The more you consume drugs or medicine, the higher your tolerance becomes, and the more you need to consume to feel the same effect.

2. A self-destructive concept that cannot work on a global scale. Tolerance as a concept was created during the Age of Enlightenment, thanks to multiple factors in Europe, namely secularization, Christianity (admittedly the church didn't help willingly, but the fundamental ideology helped) and the many quarrels of intellectuals at the time. Unfortunately, these factors did not touch the rest of the world in equal scale, which means tolerance is not equally valued everywhere else. By tolerating the intolerant, tolerance is destroyed, hence becoming self-destructive.

3. How easily you stand other people. Tolerance itself here might not be as much a trait as it is reliant on the other person's personality (or lack thereof).
Person A: My religion states that women and infidels have no rights. Tolerance is not a value we are concerned with.
Person B: Tolerance is a value to us, so I tolerate your intolerance. Maybe forcing you to be tolerant is intolerant of us?
Person C: Don't be retarded.

The original definition of tolerance means to recognize and respect others' beliefs and practices without sharing them. Notice the element of disagreement is key to tolerance, without it, true tolerance is not possible, since you don't tolerate people you agree with. With people we disagree , we differ with, yet still choose to treat decently and with respect

The left corrupted the definition of tolerance to mean "to agree with PC beliefs". The left claims that they're tolerant, but they're not. Try to argue with a leftist and you will see that instead of attacking your position, they attack you. Please, recognize true tolerance
"its funny how those who are on the left who claim to be tolerant, are actually intolerant. i guess since nobody actually told those people the real meaning of tolerance"
