     @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon Ya, it's not the paradox it's been manufactured to be. Intolerance is the antonym of tolerance therefore intolerance necessarily needs to not be tolerated by the tolerant.

     @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon It can be framed differently, and I find it less paradoxical this way.

     @matrixrunner @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon I respect your intolerance by being intolerant towards your intolerance. Should you deign to tolerate my tolerance at some point I'll adjust accordingly.

     ALT='The Paradox of Tolerance disappears
     if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.
     If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it.
     In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.
     Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated. inspired by "Tolerance is not a moral precept" by Yonatan Zunger'
