Our Facebook and Twitter generation has stifled clear thinking with its cod philosophy and meaningless 'likes'. It promotes the kind of bloody nonsense that needs to be challenged. And its love of 'tolerance' is at the top of the list.

The author sets out the truth about our over valued 'tolerance'. At best, tolerance is a useless idea. At worst, it's a vice. We shouldn't tolerate bad thinking, bad religion, or bad politics. Good things should be celebrated, not merely 'tolerated'. And there's no point in 'tolerating' simple differences. The generous celebration of difference is the answer.

In fact, 'tolerance' has become a vice that creates hypocrisy, lazy thinking, and fear of challenging wrong. It's not a virtue. It's a vice.
