I understand that it's very useful to demonstrate your listening skills by restating their opinions back, then check with them to see if you're stating things correctly.
After a certain amount of that, in which some trust is built up, I suppose one could then apply a bit of the Socratic method here and there.
Every experience I’ve had with this stuff sees the person reverting back once they go back to their regular programming. So often people come around and agree stuff is bad and the next day go back to repeating it that I no longer bother, they’re rarely ever sincere.
“White Right: Meeting the Enemy” changed my mind on this. Multiple white suprematists in that documentary change their ways after they made a friend who is incompatible with their world view.
I am not so selfish that I only care about how the people around me treat me. You gotta put some good into the world if you want to be in my life. Otherwise good luck with things over there, on your own.

Can i shorten that to "bigotry" or "bigots"? I want to put this on a shirt. Maybe rainbow colors the word?

Sounds like it could work just fine. I'd love to see any designs you come up with...

That list is a little short but I guess it does have to fit on a cheek (thx AI!) and its a start.

Support of geonocide is also a hard line.

If your beliefs are rooted in the intolerable: denying someone's rights, existence, or harming them, then you do not have to be tolerated.
And that's how you solve the tolerance paradox.

That is a deep blue eye-colour. Just sayin.
