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.
