Paradox of tolerance

[–] airrow@hilariouschaos.com 0 points 7 months ago

The widely cited "paradox of intolerance" is invoked erroneously; the tolerance of "disagreeable information" does not require that one agree with intolerant uses of force against a person. It is quite a different thing to allow someone to read someone write positively about "the virtue of stealing" (a philosophy which most people would reject), and quite another to say that one must allow a thief to steal from them.

Agreed, this is sensible moderation.

this is censorship and not thought to be sensible moderation by a lot of people
