by definition it is if you tolerate the intolerant, intolerance increases
Comment on Does humanism lead to tolerance paradox?

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.

Pretty much the oldest rule of society and the first one established.
Outlaws are romanticized, but back in the day it was being such a shithead that you no longer had any protection under law.
Someone could rob, beat, and kill you in front of the sheriff and the mayor and nobody would do anything.
If you were going to ignore the rights of others, you would have zero rights. They turned to life’s of banditry in the wilderness because that was the only option. But most often they’d starve or be killed first.
