That's me finished with The Guardian

Back when I were a lad, the lefties used to bang on about something called 'repressive tolerance', a term invented by some bloke called Marcuse. Wikipedia summarises it thusly:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Crit...Pure_Tolerance

'In his contribution, Marcuse argues that the ideal of tolerance belongs to a liberal, democratic tradition that has become exhausted. Liberal society is based on a form of domination so subtle that the majority accept and even will their servitude. Marcuse believes that under such conditions tolerance as traditionally understood serves the cause of domination and that a new kind of tolerance is therefore needed: tolerance of the Left, subversion, and revolutionary violence, combined with intolerance of the Right, of existing institutions of civil society, and of any opposition to socialism.'

Or, as Humpty-Dumpty put it:

'When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'
