    Being a billionaire is a choice, a choice to hoard money to the detriment of everyone and everything around you. One could easily choose to not be a billionaire by paying taxes and funding their local social support services and donating to charity. Intolerance of greed on the scale of billions of dollars should be the norm as it is actively detrimental to society.

    Robbery is a violation of personal safety and social boundaries and is also actively detrimental to society. It is also a choice.

    Intolerance of the choices of others that violate the social contract of “don’t be greedy, don’t steal, don’t hurt others, etc…” is valid intolerance in my opinion.

    Nazis are intolerable because they are intolerant of the vast majority of humanity itself and for reasons outside of most people’s control. Sure, you can make it a choice and convert to Judaism, but the vast majority of Jews are born into Judaism; It’s not a choice like greed on the scale of billions or breaking and entering.

    For that reason alone, Nazis are worth disposing of. The myriad additional reasons to hate Nazis just makes the job easier.
