    Well said, then at some point your platform gets labelled “the witch platform” and non-witches will leave.

      It happens before the label. When you start seeing a witch flying on your sky every night, you’re already leaving.

        There is another solution. Make it so witches cannot cause harm, everyone gives a little bit to make everything work for everyone.

        We already give things away: money with taxes, certain liberties, information, hours of our lives; how many of those are done with complete intentionality? i.e. could we choose to do something else? I’d rather do something I choose or want to do even if its harmful or less pleasant because it’s something I am privy to instead of not.

          A gun would help stop those witches from flying in the sky.

          I may be taking this analogy the wrong way.

            Okay, the gun thing made me laugh.

            But perhaps you aren’t taking the analogy the wrong way?

            A gun is usage of force. And the paradox of tolerance does prescribe the usage of force against “the intolerant”, in a few situations. Not everything is solved by, for example, letting fascists to hang with their friends in McDonald’s. (Except Mussolini. Upside down.)
