Obviously not intolerant enough.

- ThrowawayR2 7y agoIronically, Popper's paradox also logically implies that the rest of us must not tolerate your equally intolerant beliefs either.
- needle0 7y agoWhile I don't consider the paradox of tolerance to be invalid, what I see happening is people using Popper as an excuse to be intolerant towards people they dislike, declaring that their target party is "intolerant" so they're allowed to be - or even have to be - intolerant towards them. Hence, the total amount of intolerance in the world increases either way. It seems like quite a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
