https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance in simplistic terms, we ban yelling fire in a crowded theater unless there is actually a fire because of the damage it can cause. Is that being intolerant of speech and excluding those who wish to yell fire unjustly? Yes. But is it justified overall for the safety of the whole? Yes. If you tolerate intolerance, intolerance eventually rules out begetting more intolerance. Ergo to maintain tolerance, you must be intolerant of intolerance. Hence why it's called the Paradox of Intolerance. Because you must do the very action you are trying to prevent from happening. |
the point i'm making is who decides what we collectively should be intolerant to?
do facts fall under the scope of what we should be intolerant to?
