That is all true, as long as you’re not using it to justify a moral position. Those are all facts. Well… Not the “social contract” phrase. That’s a term of art based on an analogy. But you’re salient point is absolutely a fact, and correct. We do agree on that.
But again, it says nothing against the concept I’m trying to promote and argue here. The most moral way to handle a bigot is with compassion, rather then more hatred.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the limitlessness of human belligerence.

Not exactly? I don’t think. I think your referring to the belligerence of humanity as a whole. While I’m talking about individual action.
If you personally run across someone bigoted, it would be better for both of you, if you tried to be their friend. It’ll help you both see past your different prejudices.

Bigots don’t see past their predudices, that’s why they’re bigots.
