Why do people think there’s a paradox? Tolerance is a bad policy anyway; the point is to make society accept different races, genders and sexual orientations within reason (i.e. no pedos or whackos) so why even bother with tolerance if you have to dance around it to protect yourself and not be a hypocrite?
Nah. I said what I said. You’re just looking for an easy out so you and the other fascists can feel like they’ve won something, and you won’t. You shall have no victory here.
Huh? Why would think I’m a fascist? Can you explain? Not a single one of my positions or comments is based on hate, oppression, or intolerance (except of the intolerant of course), not to mention I’m trans lol.
Or are you using some idiot’s defiintion of fascism?
They think people are responding to the substance of their comment, rather than understanding that people aren’t quite sure what the comment is supposed to mean.
I don’t quite understand what you mean, could you perhaps rephrase in another couple of sentences?
Edit: I’d still be genuinely interested in an explanation of your initial comment. It might help clear things up.
You’re taking an authoritarian perspective. Fair, but I disagree. Tolerance is important because we as a society grow and evolve due to the discussion of ideas, simple or complex as they may be.
The paradox is that to achieve a tolerant society we must be absolutely intolerant to intolerant ideas otherwise intolerance “wins” and becomes the norm.
Exactly: in order to promote tolerance we must be intolerant to intolerance. It’s a paradox described by Popper.

Did you just say tolerance is bad, then go on to to describe tolerance as the solution?
An idea does not have to be absolute with no exceptions to have value.
