Cute quote.
Bigotry isn't always bad. It's bad when it's based on the wrong things. You and I will obviously disagree on those things.
And the quote ignores the possibility that the "weaker" isn't truth. I have no duty to tolerate lies, weak or strong.
Eta: I misread the quote. But my basic principle applies. Might doesn't make right. There is objective right and wrong which exist outside of force. Ignoring these truths is fun and enlightened. And then you die.

No, no it doesnt. Not at all.

The premise has literally nothing to do with what is and is not actually true, but with the hypocritical and illogical nature of human thinking. Regardless of whether or not a given belief is true, people demand their beliefs be tolerated when they are the minority, and demand other beliefs be trampled asunder when they are the majority. We are all guilty of this on some level, as human consciousness places self-preservation of thought above objective reality and tolerance.

It shouldn't but might often determines what is "right" for a society.

These are human constructs and therefore have to be subjective.
