This Toot I made led to a little flame war, as shown in the images. The old idea, which I like, is freedom of speech, enabling a marketplace of ideas. People can argue for any position they like, and others are free to rebut them. Of course, private places like social media sites can moderate content as they wish, but the government should not silence opposing views.

The Paradox of Tolerance disappears when Tolerance is approached as a social construct.
I strongly strongly strongly suggest to research this further. Holding these views allows fascism to take root and spread. They are not sincere actors. They are malicious actors.
Lots of research and philosophy around this.
