Jumping in to say: fuck the tolerance paradox.
There's no paradox in tolerance. Tolerance means you accept everyone existing within the societal contract - period. Doesn't matter if they're Republican, a racist, or anything else
Behavior out of bounds should be fought appropriately. If someone uses words to express racism, call them a disgusting asshole. If a bunch of neonazis organize for an act of violence, confront it with violence. Respond appropriately.
Conversely, if a racist can be around people of other races without acting racist, accept them in the group to reinforce their rehabilitation. If someone with braindead opinions bites their tongue and keeps it to themselves, tolerate them.
There's no paradox - there's acceptable behavior and unacceptable behavior. If anyone, displays only acceptable behavior, you tolerate them - full stop. If anyone goes out of bounds, you respond appropriately to correct the behavior - full stop.
The "paradox of tolerance" is people justifying attacking people. This myth does nothing but ensure there's no way back for people who have drifted out of bounds - it's a recipe for radicalizing people.
I'm genuinely convinced the "paradox of tolerance" is a psyops designed to fracture society by breeding extremists... If there's no tolerance when they behave and no way back, what do you think is going to happen? Either their beliefs that they're under attack get constantly reinforced and they get further pushed out of bounds, or we kill them all before they destroy our society
There has to be a way back, or the only way forward is ideological purges
Well said.
Glad to hear someone spell this out. Hopefully more people read it.
I've been saying it for a good while now, and almost never get much response -but it's worth saying anyways.
Please help spread this idea... It'll never be popular, but it's important. Far too few people get that, but words that ring true tend to stick with people down the line
