I Have No Tolerance For Bullshit

To all the fascists, racists, homophobes and the rest scum of the Earth, wondering why people don't tolerate their bullshit and why they're not allowed to practice hate speech freely, even though we're supposed to be democratic:
[quote] Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. [...] We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. [/quote]-Karl Popper

That means you are intolerant and you don’t tolerate the intolerant. 🤔

@Seetie that's why it's called the paradox of tolerance.

Yes, it reminds me of something I was posting recently. I wrote “I don’t tolerate bullies, I don’t tolerate violence and I don’t tolerate intolerance”

Then I thought about it.

I had to remove the last sentence because after saying I don’t tolerate all these things, I could not write “I do not tolerate intolerance! ! 😂

@Seetie This is why most sensible people take a more libertarian approach of "you can say whatever you like, believe whatever you like, just leave me out of it and also allow me to say and believe whatever i like". Any talk of ridding the world of so and so evil always has, and always will, lead to very nasty people imposing over others.
