"The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant."
- louwrentius 6y agoThis is exactly why the religion of free speech is nuts. It is always presented as something total and absolute. But free speech is not absolute if you want a decent, humane society. Invoking, hatred, violence, incorrect (medical) advice that can harm people, etc. You have to walk a thin line, find a balance and that's ok. Some people can't deal with that kind of ambiguity. They need absolutes. Fuck them.

- dane-pgp 6y agoThere is nothing paradoxical about tolerating all speech but not tolerating any violence. (Both of those are extreme positions, though, which I don't necessarily advocate).
