day no. 17,018: banned of brothers

"Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles.” — Fyodor Dostoevsky (attributed)

The one who accepts everything understands nothing. You cannot accept the law of non-contradiction without rejecting some things and you cannot reject the law of non-contradiction without rejecting something. 

“An open mind, in questions that are not ultimate, is useful. But an open mind about the ultimate foundations either of Theoretical or of Practical Reason is idiocy. If a man's mind is open on these things, let his mouth at least be shut.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

Tolerance is peddled as putting up with stuff you do not agree with but enforced as having to accept the tenets of things you do not agree with. This distinction, however, only exists if and when you actually take the time to think about it. 

"An open mind is really a mark of foolishness, like an open mouth. Mouths and minds were made to shut; they were made to open only in order to shut." — G.K. Chesterton,  Illustrated London News (1908)

You can hold two contradictory notions in your head only as long as your head is merely a container for other people's ideas, each isolated to its own room. The moment your own mind attempts any organization, however, some things need to be round filed. If those ideas get into a common area, some of them will have to be seen to the door.

“Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good." — Charles Chaput

Chaos thrives in contradiction. It resists the authority of the inexorable and axiomatic. Definitions, as Chesterton once noted, fight fair and that is the last the chaos-mongers want. A fair fight with the King of the world is a lost cause even if it is the cause of the lost. So, in the meantime, evil often suggests cease fires and signs peace treaties, but only to buy itself more time to plan its next attack. A break in the action is for the wicked merely another attack. Neutrality is their weapon of choice. They crack down on prejudice with extreme prejudice... until the dissenters are all dissolved. Then the crack down really comes. Public good is promoted in order to kowtow the good. Totalitolerance takes no prisoners; it demands conversion.
