The paradox of Tolerance says the only thing as tolerant society cannot tolerate is intolerance itself.

If Qin Shi Haung, the First Emperor of China, was entombed with an army, acrobats, birds, chariots and rivers of mercury... Might he also have entomed a library? I wonder.

Everyone participates in society. Whether they like it or not, whether they want to improve it or not. There is no such thing as independent autonomy from society. An intelligent person would recognize that.

I am perfectly prepared to discuss various topics and subjects. But I don't argue. And certainly Not from a place of ego, thinking I've already won the argument and therefore every other perspective on the topic is inevitablely stupid.

sariahmarier.bsky.social @sariahmarier.bsky.social · Aug 25

Ha. I could unpack that in a heartbeat. First by pointing out that philosophies grow and change based on context, independent of their origins. But you're not actually interested in discussing the topic itself in various contexts. You just want to feel superior for debunking the origin.

I've done a ten year study of the Paradox of Tolerance, evaluating it from every possible angle. Reply to the Paradox if you choose, but don't make the mistake of assuming I don't understand what I post!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again,

You can't have a Civil War when only one side has an Army.
You don't get war.
You get, Occupation!!!!

I'm vividly reminded of all the illegal things they've already gotten away with...

Specifically All 55 Million Resident Visas, whether for work or education or family ties.

This doesn't not include the nearly 300 Million greencard holders or foriegn born citizens. However, it is a big leap in that direction.

A kid could speak out and go home to find their parents got kidnapped by ICE.

But we knew it was never about the children...
