It's not paradoxical if you treat tolerance as a peace treaty instead of a moral position. Because, ultimately, it is the former rather than the latter.

- diputsmonro 4y agoThat's an excellent way to put it. The "paradox" branding has always seemed flawed to me, like it's making the concept more complicated than it needs to be and opening up the position to claims of hypocrisy . But tolerance doesn't work that way - if we become tolerant of intolerance, then we've given up our goal. Tolerance should be an active effort to fight against intolerance, not an indifferent armchair theory.
