I don’t see how that quote applies at all.

Intolerance is something like Nazism. That’s an ideology, not information/disinformation. You can’t disprove an ideology.

Take Russia’s falsehood that the war is a “special military operation”. This is a statement which is neither tolerant nor intolerant. We can clearly see that Russia has launched a full-scale operation against Ukraine, that it is unprovoked, and thus that it is illegal. So we can conclude that “special military operation” is disinformation; just a euphemism for a crime.

A tolerant society can deal with falsehoods just fine.
