This is a blog to discuss philosophy, chess, politics, C. S. Lewis, or whatever it is that I'm in the mood to discuss.

Left-wing tolerance
Herbert Marcuse wrote:
“Tolerance is extended to policies, conditions, and modes of behavior which should not be tolerated because they are impeding, if not destroying, the chances of creating an existence without fear and misery. This sort of tolerance strengthens the tyranny of the majority against which authentic liberals protested… Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left.”
Marcusian tolerance seems to be taking over. See here.

Seems to be?
How blind do you intend to be, and for how long?
Leftism -- the puppet-masters pulling the strings of all you "liberals" (as that word is currently misused) -- have *always* practiced that sort of "tolerance".
