tolerance

« Back to Glossary Index

Tolerance is the willingness to permit or peacefully coexist with ideas or people one disagrees with.

Traditionally, it implied enduring disagreement without coercion or hostility.

In the woke activist worldview, tolerance is expanded to require affirmation or celebration of beliefs and lifestyles rather than mere peaceful coexistence. Dissenters to woke orthodoxy are subjected to violence and other forms of censoring.
