If so, do you consistently report it and get the feeling that it gets dealt with? Of course there are instances dedicated solely to being human trash

@Kupo_Knight posted an article recently that I think is very relevant here:

Similar idea: https://extranewsfeed.com/tolerance-is-not-a-moral-precept-1af7007d6376?gi=cd412a4f533d

Tolerance is a peace treaty between society's sub-groups. When one group breaks that treaty it's moral and necessary to respond in kind and not tolerate them.

If a country rolls tanks into your country it's not immoral to respond in kind to defend yourself. Same idea applies to intolerance.
