The true praxis of "not tolerating the intolerant": only when they are irrational

 Especially when dealing with issues, decisions, or situations that affect more than just a single individual, what is most objectively intolerable is not the "intolerant person"—since that label always requires context to be truly defined (and morally assessed). Rather, the most objectively intolerable figure is not merely a vaguely defined "intolerant" person, but the one who is most irrational: an individual or group driven by a predominance of beliefs, ideas, or thoughts that are factually erroneous—rooted in ignorance, fallacies, or lies. It is precisely *this* type that can place us—themselves included—at risk, being the least objectively intelligent and the most detached from reality; among the most dangerous. In fact, it is precisely *this* type—acting as a manipulated mass, and especially within the realm of governance—that has most often led humanity astray from its ideal path of philosophy.


So, among the many groups or sects of irrational people, which are the most dangerous? Here is a list of them:


Leftists

Die-hard capitalists

Religious fundamentalists

Nazis

Zionists


Leftists


The first group—or sect—listed here, which already holds sway over the Western world (especially in its identitarian-focused variant), is not only among the most deluded but also the most hypocritical. Hypocrisy is a despicable personality trait in which the habitual practitioner displays a systematic desire to dictate to others what to do or what is "right," all while failing to fully practice what they preach—or even doing the exact opposite. Although the "Left" does hold some sensible beliefs, these appear disjointed and isolated, or are overshadowed by an utterly excessive attachment to its own intellectual and moral narcissism. This results in an extremely rigid system of misconceptions—mistaken for absolute truths—that are widely disseminated across many disciplines, particularly the humanities, which have become their primary victims. A classic example of this profound ignorance is the pseudoscientific and pseudophilosophical belief in the dogma of human equality—the notion that human groups are far more alike than different because their distinctions are supposedly merely the product of cultural and historical factors. This erroneously relegates behavioral biology to an irrelevant role in the dynamics that constitute human nature regarding development and behavior—as if everything about us could be reduced to power and the oppression of one group by another. The results so far in the 2020s have been devastating; when these narratives take the form of public policy, they actively dismantle societies—for instance, through the imposition of multiculturalism or mass immigration. The aim is to put into practice the notion—treated as an established fact—that human races do not exist or that their intrinsic differences are negligible. This encourages indiscriminate mixing, ignoring the negative medium- and long-term consequences, which range from the disappearance of racial variation to a decline in the average intelligence of human populations. Furthermore, this specific policy rests on anti-racist fallacies—evident to anyone capable of impartial, intellectually honest thought—primarily through the hypocrisy of its double standards: groups such as whites of European descent are demonized, while others, such as blacks of sub-Saharan origin, are sanctified...


Moreover, when it is not the "colorful," degenerate wing of the Left seizing power, it is the more "hardline" version—equally problematic. Historically, its practice has always resulted in the imposition of a totalitarian regime demanding absolute submission to the socialist party, bringing with it persecution, genocide, and equality through poverty (except for the ruling classes)—ultimately perpetuating social or structural dysfunction rather than delivering the promised evolved, regenerated society...


Die-hard capitalists


Those who care more about profits than social well-being or the natural world are also completely unhinged—miles off the mark—and should not have unrestricted access to positions of power. Yet, as we live—or merely survive—in a capitalist idiocracy, precisely what should not be permitted is sanctioned by the legality of prevailing power structures... From the massive destruction of forests to the shameless perpetuation of social inequalities and poverty—alongside the excessive questioning of social welfare measures aimed at the most exploited or underserved classes, as if the poor were impoverished solely through their own fault—it is common that even the ""clean-cut poor person": hardworking and honest, yet unable to fully improve their socioeconomic situation based on the rules of the "system" because the system does not allow or facilitate it... Without wishing to claim the complete opposite—that every poor person is a victim of the system, which is not quite the truth—there are indeed other truths (albeit ones that are ideologically inconvenient, especially for the Left) that help complete the picture of why poverty persists in societies that are meritocratic to varying degrees...


Religious fundamentalists


Individuals excessively consumed by their faith in a God or in eternal life—and specific to a particular culture of belief—have shown throughout human history that they can be dangerous when they gain power. This is precisely because it is their habit to impose their beliefs on others, without concessions or respect for differences in thought and behavior—even those that do not compromise well-being or social order—and also because they aspire to a theocracy as their ideal system of government. They are uncompromising and totalitarian, but above all, predominantly irrational—as is typical of any sect composed largely of such fanatical types: the essence remains the same, only the content changes... And given such an extensive history—along with a persistent present reality in certain places—of societies normalizing atrocities in the name of faith or "God"—in short, given this accumulation of irrefutable evidence—they behave, especially when empowered, exactly like "intolerable, irrational, and intolerant" people... All this with the "icing on the cake" being that their beliefs are rooted in faith or blind belief rather than evidence; in an ideally rational society, while such beliefs might be tolerated, they should not be treated as irrefutable facts or educational mandates by the social system itself...


Nazis


In practice, contrary to what many people believe—especially in the Western world—Nazism was not entirely misguided. But as happens with almost every cult or sect, the Irrationality always prevails over rationality within their theory. For instance, the notion that hair, skin, and eye color signify absolute mental and organic superiority is a prime example of the pseudo-anthropology that was—and remains—central to their belief system; this system was fully implemented when the Nazis seized power in Germany and expanded it as they advanced into neighboring territories. The level of destruction wrought by historical Nazism—in both human and civilizational terms—far outweighed the social improvements the National Socialist Party brought to German society in the early 1930s, a society deeply scarred by the Great Depression. Should they return to power, it seems highly probable that the modern-day followers of Adolf Hitler and his cult would apply the same irrational and cruel logic practiced by their ideological forebears when they held sway. Treating individuals as if they were inextricably bound to their racial or ethnic groups—and doing so in an abjectly immoral manner—is certainly not the fairest or most correct course of action, objectively and factually speaking...


Zionists


Then we have the Nazis in Jewish—or sheep's—clothing: the Zionists. They appear disguised as blue-haired pseudo-sociologists or appearing respectable academics in Western universities, spewing their venom of so-called "empathy" and instilling self-flagellation in their historical "enemies"—white people of European descent—disorienting them into vanishing as distinct phenotypic and cultural ethnic groups. Meanwhile, they themselves—or at least their core—remain intact, united, and cohesive. They also peddle other poisons disguised as "science," "philosophy," or "culture"—such as the sweeping, unjust demonization of specific groups (white people, heterosexual men, Christians, etc.) orchestrated through traditional institutions dominated by them and their "agents"—and began slaughtering Palestinians, especially... ...after the attacks of October 2023 (people who were already suffering under the oppression of having their lands occupied and their political legitimacy denied by Israeli authorities—a denial corroborated by much of the Western world)—a situation not unlike what the Nazis did to their ancestors, condemning both the present and the future of a people who had the "audacity" to occupy the place that, two thousand years ago, was the "Promised Land" of the "Israelites"... A supposedly highly intelligent "tribe" that never learned from its own mistakes or those of others, and merely repeats the same litany of the "food chain" or "predator versus prey"—concepts that have long defined social structures and human relations under vague veneers like "culture" and "normality"... An "inverse" Nazism, sharing the same serious flaws in rationality and all that they entail: an ideology of racial or ethnic supremacy; a double moral standard—"everything for us, nothing for others"; the widespread and unjust demonization of vaguely defined groups; the imposition of exclusionary policies on "enemies"—in short, a systematization of cruelty or political sadism. It is exactly what the Nazis did to the Jews, but in reverse: now, it is *they*—in disguise—who (for several decades leading up to this year, 2026) are imposing the same injustices against "Aryans" and anyone else who stands as an obstacle to their totalitarian plans, such as the Palestinians...

Ideological fanaticism and religious fundamentalism are atavistic expressions of human behavior

 Because they reflect chronic deficiencies or incapacities, linked to the most advanced thought that human beings can achieve, which is rational thought: reflective, self-critical, self-aware, objective, impartial, thoughtful... Which best enables us to improve our true understanding of the world... Because they reflect emotional instincts projected into language, in which they take the form of words and concepts and emulate human intelligence, hiding their much simpler and vestigial nature: an atavism of the mind, as if an animal of another species acquired the ability to learn our complex language but used it only to reinforce its instinctive impulses. In this case, in the real world, when dealing with humans themselves, a very common and little understood mismatch, often considered as an exclusive social or cultural phenomenon and not, or mainly, as a cognitive and evolutionary phenomenon, of something deeper that does not affect us equally if this also depends on the predispositions we present, to which some, or many, are more susceptible than others. Therefore, the more irreducible the individual is regarding his personal beliefs, especially those that are categorically irrational, the more guided or dominated by his emotional instincts he is. Wouldn't there be logical reason to believe in nonsenses that can even be easily refuted or at least severely problematized, from the belief in eternal life and divine existence to the secular belief in absolute human equality, for example. If the only logical reason I have found to explain this support for irrational beliefs is the apparent or felt personal benefit of doing so, but also because it reflects a self-projection of expectations and personality traits of the person themselves, of something they believe as a reflection of themselves, like an intoxicating state of excessive self-confidence, which leads to a less sober state. That is why it is so dear to a person afflicted by this delusion of grandeur to criticize, test and/or give up even their most irrational beliefs, if for them it would be similar to mutilating their own body, cutting and throwing away their own pieces of hope, dreams, motivation for life and sense of reality, even if falsified, and making room for facts or truths that they would not like to have in their mind as part of their personal belief system, which do not share their way of being and thinking.
