Recent facts have made me recall an old Zizek’s interview at Al Jazeera. The following is the transcript of the part of the discussion about tolerance. What do you think?

Martin Luther King, half a century ago, was fighting against racism for the rights of the blacks. He practically never used the term tolerance. We use it today. Why? Because we live in what I call a post-political society. The main problems… we have perceived  (them) as cultural problems, and so on, so everything becomes a matter of Tolerance. […]
If you look closely at it, tolerance is a very suspicious notion. It means, yes! Let’s tolerate each other but it also means: don’t harass me! Which means remain at the proper distance from me! […] It is what I ironically referred to as decaffeinated other! You know how we have today, product deprived of their poisonous substance, decaf coffee, beer without alcohol, fat-free chocolate, and so on… And it seems to me that people also want decaffeinated other. This mythic holistic good other and so on… And so on…
So tolerance is for me a very confused, disoriented term! I don’t like it […] I don’t like tolerance.
I want military spirit, struggle, but for the good cause!
