Five people pose against a gray backdrop. From left to right: a Latino man with short hair, a short beard, and a black jacket. A white middle-aged man who is clean-shaven with short dark hair, a tan jacket and black t-shirt, a think white woman with red hair and a knit cap, black bandana around her neck, red and black striped shirt, and blac jeans. Her arms are covered with tattoos. A heavyset man in sunglasses with a black ball cap and jacket with white text on it. To the right is a white man with long curly hair worn loose, sunglasses, and a red leather jacket.

TOLERANCE IS A HOLDING PATTERN. People should fear getting hit and/or ostracized by everyone they know if they maintain bigotry. Under a power structure of violent domination, respectability and tolerance are a holding pattern that drains the target minority while the majority prepares more violence
