He was living in a time when most things were shit, though. Can't really apply this to modern society.

I'm not sure. It's a crucial element of the philosophy of that period.

this looks like a classic example of fake attribution to add weight to a modern statement in this case, an anti-liberal slogan circulating on the right-wing religious web circuit.

The "tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society" quote seems to be from some evangelical named D James Kennedy.

Some places attribute it to Plato, others to Aristotle, others to Voltaire. If they're going to make up a fake quote, they should at least be consistent with the attribution.

I thought it was Dr. William Pierce?

This. I'm shocked and appalled, OP. Shocked and appalled.

“My generation's apathy. I'm disgusted with it. I'm disgusted with my own apathy too, for being spineless and not always standing up against racism, sexism and all those other -isms the counterculture has been whinning about for years.”
