This is the Paradox of Tolerance: If you tolerate those who are intolerant, they will destroy those who are tolerant. In this political climate, make of that what you will.
“The paradox of tolerance states that if a society’s practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them. Karl Popper describes the paradox as arising from the fact that, in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.” See Wikipedia Paradox_of_tolerance
Sorry. I love ‘pearls before swine’, but this isn’t at all funny! especially to those living with the constant anxiety of the next wildfire or those who have lost everything to fire. Especially in California.

To be accepted by other, you need to accept them … blah blah blah.
That means you need to burn stuff down while still accepting them.
