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.

    I just wanna point something out. You realize you are the oppressor right? Its not people having open discussions causing genocide, it’s people like yourself that think you have the right to oppose yourself over others. How do you expect to enforce these positions?
