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.

Understand.

You argue that the principle of the paradox of tolerance can be subverted to push censorship.

Can you elaborate on that, please?

Why? How? In what fashion? In what way does it concern you?

The comment you responded to was an observation not an argument.

I'm sorry man but I really don't have the patiences to write a thesis about this especially since I don't think what I wrote is deep, or complicated to understand. There are literally people responding to my initial comment justifying censoring religion. You can also search Lemmy for "paradox of tolerance" and you will find countless examples of what I'm talking about if you are genuinely interested.
