They talk big words and say nothing. It's an argument method where they attempt to look good/smart and goad other people into looking angry. In this particular case, they want you to reply angrily and say "Look how intolerant they are to me, and I was just pointing out how intolerant they really were!"
He asks what "specifically" bullshit is. He wants me to waste my time reiterating and arguing against his words which already mean nothing.
If you tolerate intolerance, there is no tolerance. This guy is a fascist through and through, and you are exactly right. I just pointed out what is obvious, and to further engage would be validation for him.
