Is the issue one of intolerance towards nativism and bigotry or how that intolerance manifests?
At what point does tolerance become facilitation?

Real tolerance does not tolerate the violation of another man's rights.
Real tolerance understands that being offended and having your rights violated are not the same thing.
Tolerance celebrates the differences in humanity rather than judges them.
Tolerance understands the difference between an addiction and an addicted person.
Tolerance is an act of love not hate.

I suspect that the response is more clever than meaningful.
Know what I think of your suspicions?
Rubbish!
Yes, to give up advocacy for one's values is complicity with evil.
It didn't take many words to say that in answer to your question.
Tis ironic that it took so many to explain & justify it though, eh.

In this particular case you may well be right.
I agree. So what does it mean to tolerate counterposed values? More specifically, what does it mean to tolerate such things as Confederate monuments or white supremacist mobilizations?
I asked in another thread what it means to tolerate opposing opinions.
Many were interested, but no one answered.
It seems too nebulous a term to apply.
Instead, I might favor, oppose, or be neutral/undecided about some views or organizations.
Most of the time tolerance comes with the caveat of allowing things so long as it is not harmful to the self or others. If something is considered a danger we will hear it from the tolerant, they may even go as far as trying stop the danger.
IMO the monuments are being targeted as a way to fight the backlash from Trump emboldening race superiority.
Or is Trump not emboldening race superiority, but lefties mistakenly believe so?
And their reaction is causing white nationalists to become more active?
Nope
Both look possible to me, since the left sure has gone crazy over Trump.
I was seeing just as much bickering on the GOP side since the primaries. It was all down hill once David Duke got involved, regardless of Trumps intentions.
^ Dialectics at its best. (for @Laika)
(Let me post a new thread more specific to the monument question.)

I don't see it as being mistaken at all, they need Trump to be racist so they can justify and continue on with their own race infused politicking.

It means I don't run them over with my car. There is a line to where it passes into human rights and tolerance is respecting their rights as humans. These type of conflicts such as racism are harmful to society, but our rights must be persevered, and we must also use those rights to correct these issues. Humans still have their natural methods for correcting social behavior, and that is social shaming, we have to repeatably display that their behavior is not acceptable.
That was when it went downhill?
I would never do anything with such a sophisticated label.
A strong possibility.
