Comment on Man jailed for a year after endorsing neo-Nazi views and making antisemitic speech at Sydney rally on Australia Day

  It’s not an arbitrary decision, Intolerance is the opposite of tolerance. I don’t know how to make this any clearer.

  Intolerance is defined as:

  unwillingness to accept views, beliefs, or behaviour that differ from one’s own.

  You’ll note that this definition is entirely internal, it is a behaviour based solely on your own actions, not an outside forces opinion of your actions. A man alone on an island could act just as intolerant of an arbitrary opinion as someone immersed in society.

    So you agree that jailing someone for voicing their beliefs because you disagree with them is being intolerant?

      Now we are back to the paradox of tolerance, which you would realise if you actually tried.

        And we’re back to the concept of that paradox being bullshit to begin with.
