    Tolerance is a social contract yes. The contract says, ‘I will tolerate you as long as you tolerate me’.

    Basically if a group has a stated purpose of wanting you dead, they’re in breach and lose their protection.

      yep! pretty straightforward but for some reason the populus has chosen the whole “bUt It’S a PaRadOx” schtick instead of this very clear cut line of thinking.

      imagine if i insisted on calling my landlord breaking my lease contract resulting in me moving out and stopping rent payments a “paradox.”

      or what if historians called the US breaking of the Treaty of Fort Laramie resulting in the end of the peace a “paradox?”

      least persuasive and reasonable way to express it ever. frankly laughably so. “play <rights violations> games, win <rights violations> prizes”
