‘‘Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian novel by American writer Ray Bradbury, first published in 1953. It is regarded as one of his best works. The novel presents a future American society where books are outlawed and "firemen" burn any that are found. “
That atually captures the mentality of today: Be "tolerant" of all viewpoints that you personally like or at least don't dislike, but if you might be in danger of hearing a point or position you don't like, define it as "Nazi" and you suddenly become justified in blocking anyone else from possibly hearing it aand using violence to prevent anyone from trying to explain the position you don't want to hear.
