I dont think they are correlated. It is not difficult to imagine a totalitarian society where criticism against the establishment is not tolerated; many auch have existed and many such exist today. The characteristic that marks non-thar-ness is a strong desire to deescalate. Willing enough to retaliate, but unwilling to retaliate in greater proportion. Overretaliation leads to a toxic society, but a society that punishes offenders only enough to disincentivize uncooperative behaviors builds a cooperative society which has citizens not living in fear of dumb mistakes.
