What matters here is the assumption that tolerance is nothing but self-restraint. It is not a virtue, not a human perfection, not a habitual source of desires and actions that are just and good in themselves quite apart from the social peace that they may or may not achieve. If this is true, then tolerance is indeed an inherently resentful response to disagreement and difference. But if it isn’t, if tolerance cannot be reduced to self-restraint without abandoning certain moral ideals or discounting our capacity achieve them, then we cannot say that tolerance comes loaded with resentment everywhere and always or that resentment is a justified response to the sacrifices it requires.
