“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society... then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them... We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.”
The most ruthless and sycophantic will lead unless we shut them out early on.

OK. Hm-m-m. What prompted you to opine on the intolerant?
What a bunch of double babble!
Ruthless and sycophantic isn't that a perfect definition for the USA exterior policy (for years)?
I cannot remember the particular prompt. I make a lot of notes about things that catch my eye and then often do not get to them for a couple weeks. By then, the original inspiration has passed, but the idea is there. Perhaps it was inception.
