The paradox of tolerance. Or, complex thinking is important.

1. The problem is that the intolerant seldom suffer from logical paradoxes like this...

they tend to ignore them.

2. I keep running across

right wing sentiment that liberals are supposed to be so tolerant and yet are not tolerant of right wing opinions. They are missing the point. The left is tolerant of people who live differently and the right is not. It's not about opinions. Being gay for example. The right does not tolerate the gay people's perspective and the left does whether they are gay themselves or not.

The right thinks we should tolerate their opinions leading to their anti-LGBT bigotry. That's not the point. We don't tolerate their opinions and never claimed tolerance included that.

Likewise a different religion, etc. It is the right that condemns people outright, not their opinions.

3. An excellent essay on this topic:

To sum it up, there's nothing paradoxical about it, tolerance is not a moral absolute, it is a peace treaty.
