  Please quote the part where Karl Popper suggests executing people.

    This paradox was articulated by philosopher Karl Popper in The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945),[1] where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to execute those who promote intolerance.

    At least, that’s what the op apparently read.

      You intentionally misquoted. You wrote:

      where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to execute those who promote intolerance.

      But the real quote is:

      where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to deny tolerance to those who promote intolerance.

      Why did you do this?

  That definitely doesn’t say you should kill people you disagree with.
