The Tolerance Trap
by Dirk Kirschberger
How the West lost conviction — and the courage to defend it.
“In an age that worships tolerance, conviction has become heresy.”
The Tolerance Trap maps how an ideal of openness, severed from truth, dissolves judgment into sentiment. Moving from philosophy to politics, from history to the psychology of guilt, the book follows the mechanisms by which good intentions gut moral courage—and how a culture forgets the difference between mercy and abdication.
This is not a lament but a diagnosis: crisp arguments, historical pattern, and a call to recover boundaries, language, and the old craft of measure. If you suspect that euphemism has replaced honesty, this book will feel like oxygen.
