Intolerance will not end intolerance. We must peacefully combat intolerance with love and education. If our solution to hate is to be hateful of the intolerant— we’ll still be having this conversation 100 years from now. I refuse to wait.

Violence towards the oppressor enables them to justify more violence and oppression. Secondly, it affirms their belief their actions are justified because those they oppress are now seen as objects not humans, enabling more oppression.

Yes, Popper had it right. I also think it is illegitimate to kick down the ladder on which one has climbed.

We should never tolerate intolerance. You run into the intolerance paradox if you do.

While I do believe that the paradox of tolerance is a valid notion, there's a difference between tolerating intolerance and choosing not to hate the intolerant. One addresses the intolerance itself, the other is about the feelings one has towards an intolerant person.
