Well, the one mortal threat to tolerance is intolerance. Rejecting warmongers & fascists is a moral perogative of a society which wishes to remain free.
I do think polarization lets us see threats as worse than they are. But also: there are very real inside insurgent threats to liberal democracy budding up & spreading quickly, at home & abroad.

After all, how else can you seize the means of production, if not through violence? And well Lenin himself said that "Socialism is the road to communism" so then socialists too? The reality is, the intolerance paradox is non-sensical and only befit to a dystopian world.
- trap_goes_hot 4y ago> Rejecting warmongers & fascists is a moral perogative of a society which wishes to remain free. Nobody disagrees on the principle. "My list is different than your list" is always the point of contention. Or maybe the entirety of the US should be cancelled because they voluntarily voted for leaders who can be considered to fall into that category - multiple times.
