Did he actually say this?
The quote is true, but many have speculated that this quote is falsely attributed to Aristotle.
If so, who actually said it?
Not sure, but Aristotle did say that women are slaves and multiracial societies always fail. And he's untouchable because his work is the genesis of western civilization and calling him a fucking white male isn't enough to discredit him after 2500 years of reverence

Leftists deny any quotes authenticity that BTFO their entire worldview.
Yes he did say this.
The problem is that the left actually believes it means without those virtues, society will die.
What he is actually saying is that when a society starts to tolerate everything and become apathetic, you lose cohesion and that society will die.

And this statement realllly rings true today. Tolerance is being propagandized as the most important virtue, and the majority of people in the west really dont give a shit what happens .

Makes sense when you consider how people are being told to be "accepting" and "tolerant" of others (Europe to muslim and african invaders) and they pay the price (constant crime and regular terrorist attacks).

BASED Aristotle.
classical philosophy and history is the most potent redpill
Can someone please link me where he says this? People make up a lot of quotes and just slap some ancient author's name on top of it to make it seem as if they're opinion has always been accepted.
Probably. If not, here's a quote from Will Durant, a 20th century historian that complements the alleged statement.
"So I should say that civilizations begin with religion and stoicism: they end with scepticism and unbelief, and the undisciplined pursuit of individual pleasure. A civilization is born stoic and dies epicurean."
currently reading aristotle's works. bump for exposure.

>isn't enough to discredit him after 2500 years
Not really, just most lefties have not read him or they will bash him if they knew and they want to ban the old white males writers and philosophers anyway stay cucked
Why is Tolerance even pushed? The word itself has a negative connotation, it implies accepting a negative thing. If the thing wasn't negative it wouldn't need to be tolerated.
Why don't they use generosity, kindness, hospitality?
Holy fuck nupol is uneducated, acting suprised Aristotle said this. He literally advocated for an ethno-state you uncultured swine.

At the back of everyone's mind there is a concern with any and every new arrival. That's just human nature. It may not be expressed verbally or in text but it's there. That's why the 'virtue' of tolerance is being promoted to counter that subconscious feeling of worry. Why would someone want to do that?

There's a reason why we have those reaction to new arrivals. It's instinctual - Our ancestors survived because they dealt with hostile invaders all the time.
But now we have to deal with external threads and internal threats.
