  • Which people are tolerant and which people are intolerant is less obvious than it looks.

    Like if you say “the Jews should be eliminated” then most everyone will recognize you as a Nazi unless you say it in Arabic and have a brown face, at which point punching you is a hate crime.

    attacking that person is as much self defense as if they were commiting the act themselves.

    With what level of force are you going to attack them? Surely a bloody nose isn’t going to be enough to dissuade them. So are we talking broken bones? Loss of an eye? Or force to the extent that they die from it? After all nothing’s safer than a dead attacker.

    Ok but now you’re the one talking about extermination… so what do we do with you? The problem with the Paradox of Tolerance is that there’s a Paradox of Intolerance, too.
