Repressive tolerance towards contrary ideas is exhibited by the extreme left and right. Real tolerance towards contrary ideas by the centre. There is nothing wrong with seeking to change culture through persuasion on a level playing field, through honest debate over ideas. The extremists conceive of the status quo having an advantage because it already exists, and extant resources seem to be already in its hands. But maybe it’s advantage is that the extremists’ ideas contradict common sense.
A new idea publicly challenged and rejected by society is not necessarily defeated by the tyrannical repression of the powers that be. I may just be a stupid idea. Or it may be brilliant, but need to be better presented and modeled. Silencing dissenting voices will not produce good public policy.
The majority of leftist who believe only their voices should be heard.
Silence the opposition is the new leftist game.
Proof the fact that they cheering the voices on the internet who they don’t like being silenced.
Proof the fact they try to get fox news off the air.
Proof the fact that the left tries to push conservative radio as all lies.
