    Thin blue line flag != intolerance.

    That’s just false. The thin blue line is by definition a tribal mind set. It’s all about the in-group vs. the out-group and demonizing that out-group. All of which is the beating heart of intolerance.

    Guess I’ve upset the bootlickers that haven’t figured out the difference between describing intolerance and being intolerant.

        Exactly. But in their mindset, it’s OK to do so because ‘ACAB’ and other bullshit generalizations, exactly the thing they call out when applied to their favorite groups.
