If someone's beliefs are a danger to my life or others' then yep, I won't be pursuing a relationship with them, romantic or otherwise.

Pffft, just means that your beliefs have consequences.

Something something tolerance paradox.

Excuse me for... *checks notes* ...choosing who to pursue relationships with based on our common values or the lack of them.

I also treat racists differently because of their beliefs, as well as sexists. I guess I'm the real bigot here.

My favorite thing is when a conservative finds themselves outside of one their safe-space, echo chambers and are shocked to discover that not only do regular people not agree with them, but they find their views so abhorrent that they actively view all conservatives as complete pieces of shit. And they are not wrong to do so.

i'm the real bigot because i dont want to shag someone who happily advocates for making it as hard as possible for me to get gender affirming healthcare and openly supports the neoliberal privatisation that's devastated my country?

yes i very openly discriminate against conservatives, i have no plans for stopping or apologising

Would a black person be justified in not wanting to date a white supremacist? Or would you call the black person “the real bigot”?

You should 100% treat people different depending on their beliefs.

Not wanting to date someone because of their beliefs sounds like a perfectly valid reason. Especially if those beliefs can impact someone's rights

If the beliefs in question are like, banning books, oppressing gender identities, removing reproductive rights, oppressing the needy, undermining elections with baseless conspiraciesand selling out to the highest bidders, then yeah, they and their beliefs can suck a fuck.

Conservatives: "We don't believe that you should have full control over your body and will happily pass laws to prevent you from exercising that control, including laws that will send you to prison for a life-saving medical procedure."

Women: "oh fuck. Wow. Uh. Okay, I will not be associating with you."

You: "WOAHHHHH WOAHHHHHHHH WOW CALM DOWN THERE LITTLE MISS BIGOT HOW ABOUT SOME RESPECT FOR PEOPLE HUH?"

Choosing not to date someone isn't really treating someone differently, 7 billion people on this planet you're not gonna date most of them

Not wanting to date somebody is not the same as "treating people differently". You're arguing in bad faith

When it comes to dating? Yes. Absolutely. Why would you think that beliefs are a non factor for dating?

I'll think of you when I punch a Nazi.

"Im not that conservative" said every conservative ever when arguing on a left leaning platform

I kinda get a kick out of the ignorance some conservatives bring to the table. It's almost cute, if not so stupid.

You should read up on the paradox of tolerance, and why Conservative attempts to play the victim card only expose their hypocrisy.

Believe it or not, it's perfectly normal to only want a relationship with someone who shares your core values. You conservatives (don't lie) might understand that if you actually tried to have an actual relationship with someone instead of trying to establish ownership over them.

I hope this is a bit.

I mean I form all judgements and treat people different based off their beliefs and actions as the former lead to the latter...

No cause we don't advocate for them to be punished in any way. We just don't want to fuck them.

That persecution fetish is out and about, huh?

I don't mind their different beliefs, what matters is the fact that they try to force it on everyone else. You think being gay is bad? Then don't be gay yourseld. You think getting an abortion is bad? Then don't get an abortion. But the moment you try to force that on anyone else is the moment you're inviting the world to shit on you. After all, no one is passing laws to discriminate against straight cis people, or forcing everyone to get an abortion.

When their beliefs include hating me, yeah, I'm going to treat them differently.

Hello! You have fallen into the tolerance paradox; how can you be tolerant when you're intolerant to intolerance? Easy I'm tolerant because I don't tolerate intolerance. Beliefs aren't equal, anyone who believes in inferiority or inequal treatment for reasons outside ones control should be called out. It is not a live and let live mindset, it's a "live the way I tell you to or you're a bigot" doesn't sound very liberty loving to me. You can dislike it, you can rant, but once you limit peoples access to equal rights and treatment you're infringing on their rights. Any freedom loving American can respect that.
