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 can’t imagine what it must be like to feel so in contention with someone who has all the right answers when you ask the right questions. I feel sorry for you.

    If you’d like to reform your diatribe into concise and cohesive questions I’ll gladly continue to answer them.

    It’s funny, kind of meta, you have this preconceived notion that I’m some bigoted racist born of the harm you feel when you attempt to interpret what I’m saying.

    You’re self harming with your own preconceived notions that aren’t congruent with reality just like the Nazis in our discussed example.

      Please provide an example of “objective harm”. You referenced this concept. You have clearly demonstrated that this concept is essential to understanding the model you have described, but I do not understand what you mean by that statement. Please provide an example to aid my comprehension.

        Broad question, but I’ll play. Physical violence.

          It is, indeed, a broad question.

          Is it “physical violence” when a Nazi shoots a Jew?

          Is it “physical violence” when a Jew shoots a Nazi?

          What if the Jew in question were David Berkowitz, and the Nazi in question were Oskar Schindler?

            Depends on the context.

            Why is either shooting the other?

              Depends on the context?!?

              Ok, let’s back up a little further: what does “objective” mean?

                Yes. Depends on the context.

                Objective
                /əbˈdʒɛktɪv/
                adjective

                (of a person or their judgement) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts.

                So,remove your feelings and provide the facts I’m requesting so we can get to the objective logical endpoint.

                  Thanks for clarifying.

                  The Jew is shooting the Nazi because the Jew believes the Nazi is causing harm to the Jew.

                  The Nazi is shooting the Jew because the Nazi believes the Jew is causing harm to the Nazi.

                    Is the Nazi causing the Jew harm beyond the Jew’s personal belief?
