The Tolerant Individual (Forst)
  1. Components
    1. Objection
      1. To tolerate something we must initially object to it on a personal principle
      2. Acceptance
        1. This is balanced by our acceptance that for whatever reason, the objectionable activity must freely continue
        2. Rejection
          1. Tolerance must have limits, so if the objectionable action/belief break the limits of acceptability, we must stop it
        3. Conceptions
          1. Permission
            1. Where a majority makes concessions to a minority, but rights are unequal/could be taken away.
              1. In 1950s USA, a white person might not give black people the right to ride in the front of buses, but thinks that slavey is too extreme
              2. could just be seen as another means of asserting dominance 'tyranny of the majority'
