Tolerance is a social contract.

Those who dont abide by it, try to use it as a weapon against those who do, to enable their intolerance to grow and spread.

Those who don't abide by the social contract are a threat to society as a whole, and should not receive its protection.

Because you end up empowering them, and weakening society against them.

Intolerance must be put down, with force. It is not hypocritical. It is not paradoxical. For the garden of tolerance to thrive, the intolerant weeds must be ripped out of the soil and disposed of in such a way that they can not spread their seeds further, because if you don't.. nothing will thrive but the weeds.

the tolerance paradox

If everyone is tolerant of every idea, then intolerant ideas will emerge. Tolerant people will tolerate this intolerance, and the intolerant people will not tolerate the tolerant people.

Far too often people forget that Right to Free Speech is not your first right, and it is superseded by other human rights above it.

Your right to Free Speech only applies as long as it doesn't interfere with other people's rights to safety and freedom from prejudice, hate, harm, etc...

It's not that complicated and yet countless people always fuck something so straightforward up.

It begins with free speech, then you skip a few years and suddenly trans kids are scared for their lives. Speech affects people and has consequence, it is not something to take lightly.
