    No. People who call out the ‘tolerance paradox’ are misunderstanding social tolerance. Tolerance of other humans is part our social contract to live with each other without violence. If you abandon the social contract by being hateful or violent to others, you are no longer protected by it. There is no paradox.

      Nobody “calls out” the tolerance paradox. It’s those who refuse to tolerate intolerance who call it the tolerance paradox.
