I agree that "Western tolerance can be its Achilles heel." One cannot be endlessly tolerant of the intolerant, lest one become their enablers, and thus enablers of intolerance itself.

🧵 The Paradox of Tolerance

The paradox of tolerance isn’t a contradiction.
It’s a warning.
Love without discernment invites its own destruction.
So we must ask:
How do we preserve open society—without letting it be devoured by those who would close it?

A Nazi interrupted Psych 201 at the University of Washington.
He was chased out of the room.
Then out of the building.
Then across the square.
This is how Nazis should be dealt with.

If what they’re going thru now doesn’t do it, nothing will. Sympathy is not enough; they must be made to recognize that their own choices led to this moment, and the only way out is to make different choices. Those who refuse to do this must be shamed & shunned by polite society. #ParadoxofTolerance

The Paradox of Tolerance stays in full effect in my spaces.
"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."

Do Fox News hosts and commentators agree with their colleague Brian Kilmeade that the United States should "just kill" homeless people?
He still has a job. No apology. No retraction.
Just let us know, Fox.

And I’m sick of the respectability politics from Dems. It has never gotten us anywhere. When has Trump ever showed any empathy for any Democratic official? When has he shown empathy for anyone other than his cult followers?

Okay, I won’t, but I’ll go grab some dog poop…
No. I won’t do that.
I’ll punch a Nazi and write about it.

The Paradox of Tolerance by Karl Popper:
A society that tolerates all ideas, even harmful or intolerant ones, will ultimately be destroyed by intolerance itself. Again, for a society to endure, it must refuse to tolerate intolerance.

According to CBC, “The victim, who appears to be dressed in traditional Jewish attire, gets up on his knees and one of at least two children clings to him.
The attacker… then tosses what appears to be a kippah, a head covering worn by Jewish men and boys, into a wet, splash pad area.”
