You know, there’s not really a paradox of tolerence
It’s simple really
If you want to create a place that’s inclusive to everyone you can’t actually include everyone
Because some people, a lot of people actually, make being who they are determining how everyone else should be living their life
And they won’t shut up about it because that’s who they are
It’s a toxin that infects everything. Life itself is cruel. Sometimes people need an escape from that. And when you fail to understand inclusivity you end up taking that escape away
You create the same cruelty people need a break from
It is about blocking. The cancer spreads. Infects. When you try to “include” everyone you only end up with a place where only the right type of people actually feel welcome
Because acceptance is a neutral state. It is a lack of action. But bigotry, hatred, and true intolerance are actions. And the inaction of acceptance won’t ever truly combat that
The bigotry will always take over
You don’t treat a disease by ignoring the symptoms
So that’s it
I’m done
