The people who think the paradox of tolerance is in any way insightful are retards. Repost from my comment in the other thread:
The presuppositions underlying "the paradox of tolerance" are A) that being Tolerant is necessary and good, and B) that our view of what to tolerate is correct. When you analyze "the paradox of tolerance" with these identified, it simply reduces down to, "societies can decide and enforce their social landscape" which is a blindingly banal thing to say. It also means that whoever is in power can enforce social rules, which is also obvious. Luckily, this is also an invitation for dissidents like us to accrue power.
Exactly. Tolerance is not an objectively defined value. It’s just a simple verb.
The people who give it any credence are retarded leftists. These are the same people who think the bully who hits a student, and the student who hit the bully back, committed equally condemnable acts. Because they are so retarded they can't distinguish between aggressor and victim acting in self defense. They just see the act, not the context. It has to be some mental deficiency. They go through life incapable of processing certain truths or logic. I half wonder if they only see half the colors we do. Literally their worldview is so askew from reality that you wonder what else they are experiencing differently from fully functioning people.
I'm reasonably certain that the actual book in question that developed the argument 'paradox of tolerance' doesn't actually say what midwit liberals think it says. By this point, I'm going to have to track down a copy of the book and read the damn thing.
...which doesn't exactly sound like a bad thing. Going by some chapter synopsis, a number of chapters seem to go into how Marx was a fucking idiot, so it'll be entertaining, if nothing else.
Wouldn't be the first time that a major concept at the heart of Leftism and the Woke is them completely misunderstanding a legitimate thing and then parading it around.
Rape culture and Tabula Rasa are two others they do it to daily.
Rape culture being a prison thing and Tabula Rasa coming from???
Tabula Rasa was a legitimate Psychology theory in the mid 1900s for a handful of years. A lot of wild and downright evil experiments were done to try and prove it, and they consistently came up empty. So it was thrown away as a scientific approach to how humans work and think.
But the Left literally builds its foundation on the notion of it, its why they say things like "teach men to not rape," even though they don't use the actual term anymore due to its negative connotation.
It's a simple rhetorical device to try and give the Leftist an opportunity to say, "I should be in charge of the decisions of tolerance".
This is followed up with Marcuse's Repressive Tolerance, whereby Harry Callahan becomes an absolute hero if he ignores the bank robberies and shoots someone in the head because they have a "Nixon Now" bumper sticker.
