While I guess it is pretty commonplace for the paradox of tolerance to be invoked these days as a way to turn intolerance into a virtue by declaring the people we dislike the intolerant ones and claiming we're somehow improving tolerance by hating them, and while taking the most shocking-sounding op-ed any of the uncountable smaller papers on the planet is willing to publish, squeezing any nuance and inconvenient details out of it, juicing it up, and blasting that idea to a global audience it wouldn't otherwise have reached is basically what social media is used for nowadays, I'm still not convinced either of those is a good or moral thing.
