I’ve been invoking Popper’s paradox several times a day in the last couple of weeks.

For the folks in the back: Tolerance of intolerant ideologies means those ideologies will gain ground leading to exclusion, oppression, and erasure.

There is no both sides equivalence. We need to draw hard lines
“Illustration depicting the ‘Paradox of Tolerance’ by philosopher Karl Popper. The image uses cartoon characters to explain the concept. It begins with the question, ‘Should a tolerant society tolerate intolerance?’ A man wearing a Nazi armband demands tolerance for his views. The text explains that unlimited tolerance can lead to the destruction of tolerance itself, showing historical figures and symbols related to Nazism. It concludes that movements promoting intolerance must be kept outside the law, with a figure resembling Popper stating, ‘Defending tolerance requires not tolerating the intolerant.’”

The deliberate shifting of the Overton Window to normalize fascism. Apartheid Clyde knew exactly what he was doing
The image contains text describing an incident experienced by a Jewish high school student in a liberal town in the USA. It details an alarming event where six students performed a Nazi salute following a similar gesture by Elon Musk. The student reflects on their previously inclusive school environment and expresses disgust at how such actions have seemingly gained societal acceptance. They note that some students did the gesture mockingly, but others embraced it, with one directly targeting the student. The text emphasizes disappointment and anger about growing tolerance for hate symbols and rhetoric.
