Tolerance?

Original definition of tolerance (my paraphrase):
“Agreeing to disagree over our differences while maintaining respect for the other person as a fellow human being, being able to live peaceably among those who are different from us.” 


New definition of tolerance being forced on us:
“You must never offend anyone.  And taking it further, you must condone, support, and encourage everything that everyone else says, does, or believes ... or else you will be labeled an ‘intolerant, narrow-minded hater’ and we will sue you and destroy your job and reputation.  And if you have any lingering convictions about "right and wrong," we will continue to relentlessly beat them out of you have until you fall in line with our values and positions and until you admit that we're right and you're wrong.” 


Which one do you think is going to lead to more chaos, fear, interpersonal problems, and a breakdown in society?
