Absolutely incorrect
Tolerance can perfectly exist without intolerance.
It's called peace.
Intolerance is the antithesis to peace. Intolerance directly causes the opposite of peace.
Peace is not a static state. Our society is not static, hence opinions and schools of thought change and flow.
It's not hard to find countries at peace where intolerance speach has been on the rise, often replacing tolerant and peace leaning and peace loving regimes.
It was a passive tolerance that allowed for such intolerant currents to rise, currents that are now doing their best to drown the previous.
I'm remembering the need to repel intolerance by pulling its ideas out in the open, pull it apart and dismantle it, in a context of peace. I am not advocating for violence. What I am advocating for is the need to use the necessary force to snuff out intolerance.
