Cold linking the wiki article (with tracking intact no less) isn’t much of a reply
Too much for you to read, huh?
Did you read it or understand it? Social media butchers & misrepresents the paradox, argument, and basic definition of (in)tolerance as used in political philosophy. Tolerance is acceptance that permits an objectionable position or practice despite considering it wrong. Intolerance is a rejection that doesn’t permit, ie, literally prohibits. Here’s the full passage partly quoted in the article
The type of intolerance they refer to is the kind that uses unjustified force and refuses debate. They even explicitly reject that we should in general “suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies” as long as rational argument & public opinion can still govern public choice.
The philosopher who articulated the paradox was defending an open society that protects intellectual freedom & open discourse, not arguing for a society to limit it. They were also talking about systems of government.
None of that pertains to a civil disagreement lacking imposition of force: by definition the person in disagreement is tolerant, so it’s not a case of “tolerating the intolerant”. The paradox doesn’t apply.
