Accepting arguendo that "tolerance is not a moral precept", and assuming you're referring to Yonatan Zunger's essay, you might consider that he likened it to a peace treaty. Which is now broken. Breaking a peace treaty means active hostilities. Seems like a really bad time to do that, given the current US administration.

Given how frequently some are equating wrong opinions as violence, it seems to be a matter of time before they respond in kind.
