Not me. I was talking about who was more likely to put their personal intolerance in to law. Who cares what people personally think? It's the coercive power that matters, imo. I don't think anything else is important- as all my posts have said.

Actually we started out talking about who was more authoritarian, conservatives or liberals.

Then it became obvious that liberal vs. conservative wasn't a good proxy for authoritarian vs. tolerant.

At that point -- well, I guess things got confused but I didn't think I was talking about which was more likely to state power to effectuate their goals, either, but maybe we were and I just didn't realize it.

I thought we were talking about which sorts of authoritarian issues authoritarian liberals and authoritarian conservatives tried to push.
