Excuse the Reductio ad Hitlerum, but in the 1930s the Germans where very

tolerated".

A better way to go about it is to tolerate everything you can that does not unjustly

Disagree. Tolerance must end where ongoing tolerance could only be gotten at the cost of self-denial and self-deconstruction. But this criterion today all to often is no longer considered. Thus we even tolerate those who do not tolerate us anbd abuse our tolerance to enforce their own interests at out costs. That is no tolerance of ours, even if we call it that. It is circumcision between the ears, and it leads to the absence of any criterions by which we could define what we are and what we tolerat5e - and what we are noit and what we do not tolerate.

If we tolerate all and everything and mistaken that as tolerance, our own identity starts lacking any features that define it as such. And this feeds back on our demand even what should not be tolerated. Becasue we have stripped purselves of the needed identity and therefore the standards by which we could judge that this thing could be tolerated - and that thing better not. We are identity-less neuters, then - and prey for those who do not share our mental disorder.
