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 is not generalizing at all. /s There are a lot of people on the right side of the spectrum, some are also compassionate and tolerant

    Since it’s a spectrum, polarising means ignoring them and forcing them to decide among 2 poles, and guess what will happen?
