That was the wishful thinking of the left, but it seems it has backfired. The more people confront each other&#x27;s differences (they massively do nowadays), the more they feel a need to show they are different (for example, the coming back in vogue of religious dress accessories). It seems group&#x2F;kin segregation is part of our nature, and we can&#x27;t really fight nature.<p>That&#x27;s why I don&#x27;t believe that thought policing, &quot;forced tolerance&quot; or &#x27;safe spaces&#x27; will amount to anything. We should think pragmatically and find a way to live non-violently, in a not-necessarily-tolerant world.
