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

I know I have said this often. Yet attempt to think of the whole in terms of change.

You can not freeze change. Whether it's good change or bad change. Because good and bad is subjective.

Which is good? The lion killing the deer or the deer starving because they ate all the grass?

The lion killing the deer makes them cautious and have fewer young. Which makes them not eat all the grass.

Same applies to anything. Over population stagnation kills worse than the change of animals killing other animals.
