Karl Popper entered the chat.

This is and always has been semantic bullshit.
There is no fucking paradox of intolerance.
Because you do not "tolerate" the violence that intolerance leads to, you ALLOW it.
Shooting a fucking Nazi in the face isn't intolerance. It's basic preventative maintenance for democracy.
Personally I'm more concerned about the Spiral of Silence.
I don't think people tolerate intolerance so much as they're scared to speak out.
