Apparently a number of the faculty at this school have never heard of the paradox of tolerance. Dumb and dumber.

Y'all the first of Club is we gotta maintain society. That means tolerating people who don't agree with you, but NOT tolerating people who would rather dismantle society or want to dominate society. Those people need to be brought to heel at best or eliminated from society at worse.

A 2025 updated cartoon from the Paradox of Tolerance by Karl Popper.

In the first frame you see two antifascists who dismiss a Nazi (this time wearing a MAGA hat). The MAGA Nazi says "You want more tolerance? Respect my ideas!". At the left the question "Should as tolerant society tolerate intolerance?" and at the right "The answer is NO." 

Between de first and second frame the text "It's a paradox, but unlimited tolerance can lead to the extinction of tolerance."

In the second frame you see Donald Trump (was first Hitler) with Nazi attributes. At the right you see Elon Musk giving a Nazi salute on a podium. At the left you see Mark Zuckerberg saying "Let's give them a chance!" Above those figures the text "When we extend tolerance to those are openly intolerant … the tolerant ones end up being destroyed. And tolerance with them."

In the third and final frame Trump (in the original cartoon Hitler) is kicked-out. With above the text "Any movement that preaches intolerance and persecution must be outside of the law." At the right we see Karl Popper saying "As paradoxical as it may seem, defending tolerance … requires to not tolerate the intolerant."

At the bottom the text "Source: The Open Society and its Enemies. Karl R. Popper" and "pictoline.com".

6.10: The Dilemma of Utopian Joy: Ariel & Christina Discuss

While solarpunks often choose to stand in direct opposition to selfishness, greed, and systemic problems, the choice to be kind and to prioritize joy, sympathy, and understanding is also central to solarpunk in fiction and in real life. As Christina and Ariel discuss, while acts of kindness occur in all sorts of fictions, even cyberpunk and dystopian fictions, acts of kindness in solarpunk stories tend to be transformative, especially for the person or group on the receiving end. They then explore the sacrifices that it takes (and who has to make them) in order to maintain peace, prosperity, and joy in society by two famous solarpunk–adjacent stories set in utopias, “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” by Ursula K. LeGuin and “The Ones Who Stay and Fight” by N.K. Jemisin. Christina is not sure if she’s on board for either of these stories, but she agrees with the premise that now is the time not to walk away in disillusionment, but to fight hard for human rights, justice, and fairness in all of our different political systems and societies.

No, there are times when we cannot agree to disagree.

So, if we mostly can agree on the "paradox of tolerance", that we shouldn't tolerate the intolerant to influence how we operate our society, because they will destroy tolerance…

Then shouldn't we also consider that maybe there's a similar paradox on not using democracy to let anti-democratic forces take over a democratic society, because they will dismantle democracy?

#ParadoxOfTolerance

"The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a societal contract."

Picture of a text meme with an illustration of an Esher-style impossible cube object in red in the right upper corner.
Text:
"The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a societal contract.
If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it.
In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the societal contract of mutual tolerance. 
Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated."

Inspired by "Tolerance is not a moral percept" by Yonatan Zunger

"Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance applies to religion as much as it does racism and fascism. You cannot believe in equal rights when your God favors one group over another"
