      It was never a paradox.

      You just need to acknowledge that there is a limit to how tolerant the world can be. Maybe it is at 100% but there is a limit.

      Then you just need to show that tolerance towards e.g. Nazism result in less tolerance than being intolerant to it.

      Lol. The Paradox of Tolerance is on par with the Libertarian Non-aggression Principle. Purely academic, purely subjective and, ironically, a moral imposition.

        the paradox of tolerance is […] Purely academic

        Yes? That’s kinda the point of a thought experiment ? Do you think the trolley problem is less than “purely academic”? Or that Schrodinger actually put a cat in a box?

          There are many people, like OP, that see things like the paradox of tolerance as some nouveau morality. It presents itself under the guise of being peaceful and tolerant when it is really a moral subjectivists justification for violence. It is dishonest and so are it’s proponents.
