[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Paradox of tolerance motherfucker. Look it up permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] ulph@lemmy.world -21 points 2 years ago (3 children) It's a paradox alright. Are you supposed to be one of the tolerant? Can't tell. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] WamGams@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 years ago Tolerance is a social contract. People who practice intolerance are not owed anything. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) Tolerance is the norm Only if everyone else is. Didn't you fucking read it permalink fedilink source parent [–] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago That's the whole point of the paradox. Tolerance requires being intolerant to those who are intolerant. If someone won't be tolerant of gay people, you shouldn't be tolerant of them. To put it more simply, tolerance is a two way street. If you aren't tolerant of someone, then you shouldn't be surprised when they and their loved ones are intolerant of you. If you're going to hate gay people, don't expect gay people and those who support gay people to like you. permalink fedilink source parent
