There a plenty of people who value truth but tolerate society because its that or be lumped with the fringe elements.

Was this supposed to disagree with my statement quoted below?

People literally in society can have varying levels of antipathy towards the evil and stupidity, but they are tolerating and working with it. [because its that or be lumped with the fringe elements.]

I didn't include the excuse in the original. Does their reasoning matter?

Yea you are an absolutist and that leads to fanaticism. Im offering similar advice but without the despair and anger. The world isnt black or white.

You don't have anything that you absolutely reject?

As for the "despair and anger", I'm not sure where you're getting that. Is it because I'm not entertaining a fantasy about what's possible?
