Paradox of tolerance - eviltoast

Wiki - The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually ceased or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.

      That’s not what Popper is talking about. He’s talking about maintaining the option to be intolerant of the act of intolerance, not of people.
