Seems more relevant now than ever in our lifetimes. However, the state has a monopoly on violence, incarceration, and most other forms of social control, including the determination of what, exactly, should be defined as intolerance. Consequently, forms of intolerance that support the interests of the state are permitted, and even encouraged, while forms of dissent that oppose the interests of the state can be deemed unacceptable intolerance and be punished. For example, many Western states have determined that intolerance of Palestinians and pro-Palestinian demonstrators is acceptable intolerance, while deeming criticism of Israel and Zionism to be forms of intolerance that will not be tolerated, punishable by being fired from your job, expelled from your university, prevented from flying abroad, pepper-sprayed and beaten by the police, and jailed.
