    This is specifically not what the tolerance paradox is about.

    That basically revolves around actions. Say whatever you’d like so long as you’re not actively hurting anyone or inciting anyone to hurt anyone else.

    Essentially at what point is intolerance something you can no longer tolerate, it doesn’t at all say or imply intolerance itself cannot be tolerated.

      When a Nazi tells you they’re a Nazi, and then you do nothing, you’re complicit when they actually start doing Nazi shit.

        Not at all, you could justify so many atrocities but this flawed logic.

        Should I murder anyone who holds white supremacist ideology? Abortion? Support for native populations? Who gets to define the immorality we’re acting on here.

        Though I do find it funny you don’t see the irony in using the same excuse Hitler used for the night of the long knives.
