    “If a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance”

    So yeah, call these intolerant hypocritical assholes out!

      That’s the paradox of intolerance though.

      If you don’t tolerate intolerance, you are intolerant.

      Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

        The paradox of tolerance is poorly named. Tolerance is part of the social contract and one that breaks the contract is no longer protected by it. The intolerant are excusing themselves from the contract and the rest of us can and should exclude them from the society they harmed.
