Tesla's MoustacheThe Paradox of Tolerance
By philosopher Karl PopperComic transcribed below
Should a tolerant society tolerate intolerance?
Man carrying torch with swastika tattoo on forehead: "You want more tolerance? Respect my ideas!The answer is NO.
It's a paradox, but unlimited tolerance can lead to the extinction of tolerance.
When we extend tolerance to those who are openly intolerant... ...the tolerant ones end up being destroyed. and tolerance with them.
Old man in pre-WWII German uniform with Hitler and Nazi imagery beside: "Let's give them a chance!"
Any movement that preaches intolerance and persecution must be outside the law.
As paradoxical as it may seem, defending tolerance... ...requires to not tolerate the intolerant.
