I Am Going to Say Something Controversial
We believe we are so tolerant in our western societies, but what we really are is a bunch of hypocrites. We have just substituted government authoritarism for social control authoritarism, especially online.
This is just another side of our idea of 'progress': going on with our beastly mentality of centuries, but in a cleaner, better-looking way. The same way we can kill now using chemical weapons instead of swords, and avoid the dirty sight of the blood, we lynch online those we do not agree with and avoid seeing the gallows and the rope.
This is the tolerance of those who have the word in their mouths all the time. Set a code of rules that EVERYBODY must follow (democracy, equality...), and if someone dares to question them, unleash the army of keyboard (sometimes not only) SJW warriors to destroy their reputation, harass them online, threaten them and their families, call for boycotts on their business...until they are crashed and often forced to leave the country.
If I have to choose, I prefer the good old authoritarism to this new one. At least it is not hypocritical and does not hide under a mask of tolerance and progressivism.
