Wiki - The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually ceased or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.

    I’ll tolerate you as long as you tolerate me.

    I’d only comment that it’s not just about tolerating me. I am intolerant of people who are intolerant of others, unless they follow this contract.
