What is the “paradox of tolerance” and is it legit?
In: 1208
It’s not actually a paradox. Tolerance/inclusivity are principles that manifest as a set of behaviors/policy. It’s usually tolerance to variation in benign, immutable characteristics. People who behave antithetical to those principles do not have to be tolerated. The only people that act like they must be are strawmanning “tolerance” to be “anything is acceptable” which obviously leads to absurdity.
