[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 child) Well, it kinda is, if you take the terms at face value: To defend tolerance by being intolerant. The fact that it can be simply resolved by requiring tolerance to be mutual doesn't make the original less of a paradox. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bilb@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago I see what you're saying, but to me it's not a paradox that needs addressing because to most people it's obvious that these are qualitatively different kinds of tolerance.
