The insidious modern disease of tolerance
Governing establishments have always manipulated tolerance within the general population, particularly tolerance which fails to distinguish between better and worse for ordinary citizens.
Today we might add politically-promoted tolerance which fails to distinguish between better and worse for voters. Or tolerance which fails to distinguish between better and worse for political norms in a healthy democracy.
It isn’t a new problem. For example, this D.H. Lawrence quote about two of his fictional characters, Kate and Owen touring post-revolutionary Mexico.
Kate sat trying to sew, but her hand trembled. She could not get the bull-ring out of her mind, and something felt damaged in her inside.
She straightened herself, and sighed. She was really very angry, too, with Owen. He was naturally so sensitive, and so kind. But he had the insidious modern disease of tolerance. He must tolerate everything, even a thing that revolted him. He would call it Life! He would feel he had lived this afternoon. Greedy even for the most sordid sensations.
Whereas she felt as if she had eaten something which was giving her ptomaine poisoning. If that was life!
D.H. Lawrence – The Plumed Serpent (1926)
Kate is disgusted by a bull fight, the behaviour of the crowd and contemptuous of the posturing matadors but her anger isn’t about bull fights. She is angry with Owen’s acceptance of it all and his supine adoption of the insidious modern disease of tolerance. A century later we have come to know it too well.
