you're focusing on the language being the same, whereas the diff is in the outcome: silencing conservatives is just fine, silencing the gays for their gayness is obviously not my usual example is that it's perfectly fine to plan and execute the assassination of Andrew Wakefield, while still agreeing that life is sacred -- i don't see an incongruence between these two concepts 2 comments
The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract. If someone does not abide by the contract, then they are not covered by it. In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social 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. |
