I strive for honesty more than neutrality.

Yes neonazis are intolerant, but here's the scenario and why you should invest in reading lessons.

Q: what made this girl date a neonazi?
Me: her parents were social activists which probably means that they're left leaning. She probably swung hard in the other direction in standard teenage rebellion form.
You: how can being too tolerant cause someone to rebel? (Implied)

Your response implies that you largely define the left and right by their tolerance. There is some validity to that in their platforms, but to pose it as such is just lol. That **** ain't inherent and my idea was that she could have been rebelling against her parents as opposed to strictly their ideology.
