Yeah, always blows me away how willing people are to call for crimes against humanity for groups they don't like. I mean, I find nazis to be ridiculous and terrible, but throwing people into re-education camps and executing them if they don't convert to your worldview? That's like reading 1984 as an instruction manual lol.
If you want to kill everyone evil, start with yourself.
Read that as a personal attack instead of a quote when it popped up in my alerts, and was very confused about what I did lol.
But yeah, when your plan is to execute a group because you find their beliefs repugnant, you've become the villain in the scenario. The solution to the paradox of tolerance definitely isn't genocide.
It's neither, it's a rhetorical "you". Should've been clearer about that, sorry.
The thing about the paradox of tolerance is that the intolerance mentioned there is not regular bigotry. It's quite specifically about a threat to the marketplace of ideas.
