The paradox of tolerance.
The paradox of tolerance.
Without a doubt the most culturally relevant paradox on this list, the paradox of tolerance is the idea that a society that is entirely tolerant of all things will also be tolerant of intolerance. Eventually, the tolerated intolerant elements of a society will seize control, rendering that society a fundamentally intolerant one. Therefore, in order to remain a tolerant society, intolerance cannot be tolerated.
And n short, as we become more tolerant, those who we've become i tolerant of take more power. Which makes sense as we're seeing in modern society and liberal tolerance of the intolerant conservatives.
