It's ok to be intolerant at some things. What's not ok is to be intolerant and still claim to be tolerant. That's hypocrisy.
Also, do not equate actions and speech - and we're mostly arguing about free speech here, right?

- Andrew_nenakhov 4y agoPeople feel very smart when making quips like this. Unfortunately for you, my goalpost is precisely the same: > "paradox of tolerance" is a hypocrisy. If you are intolerant only to the intolerant you are not tolerant, it is as simple as that. > It's ok to be intolerant at some things. What's not ok is to be intolerant and still claim to be tolerant. That's hypocrisy (Don't hurt yourself, I understand it is an uncomfortable situation for you)
