Is Tchaikovsky warmonging? I could have sworn he died a few years ago.
I would bet that he hasn't read the article.

Nobody disagrees on the principle. "My list is different than your list" is always the point of contention.
Or maybe the entirety of the US should be cancelled because they voluntarily voted for leaders who can be considered to fall into that category - multiple times.
And the most dangerous warmongers and facists today, may very well believe they are fighting those very same things.
But then again I believe germans in WW2 saw themselves as fighting a war for peace.

Should we add communists to that list as well? After all, how else can you seize the means of production, if not through violence? And well Lenin himself said that "Socialism is the road to communism" so then socialists too?
The reality is, the intolerance paradox is non-sensical and only befit to a dystopian world.
I do think polarization lets us see threats as worse than they are. But also: there are very real inside insurgent threats to liberal democracy budding up & spreading quickly, at home & abroad.
