The Tyranny of Tolerance

The "Tyranny of Tolerance" occurs when excessive acceptance of all viewpoints leads to the suppression of honest debate and moral clarity. It suggests that by trying to tolerate everything, society sometimes enables harmful behaviors or ideas to flourish unnoticed, undermining principles of justice and truth. Essentially, an overemphasis on universal tolerance can paradoxically stifle meaningful discussion and compromise the ability to challenge injustice, creating a situation where intolerance or harmful actions are indirectly tolerated because they are not actively confronted.
