Tolerance
Less well known [than other paradoxes Popper discusses] is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

-Karl Popper

They mean excusing Blacks for activities that would have consequences for Whites and Asians. It is based on the liberal's bigoted belief that Black people are like children who do not know better.

Standard KommieKunt and LibbyFuck 180 degree thinking. If you spin a person around and around enough times, and demoralize them enough, than you can declare up down and down up. Brainwashed yet, bitch?

They mean Marcuse's "Liberating Tolerance" - that government, institutions, etc. amplify the voices of minority views and actively criticize, downplay, or ignore mainstream or majority views, esp. if longstanding.

It's how Transgender went from mental illness to acceptable - nothing changed in the science: Mental Illness is highly correlated with Transsexuality, including in countries where it's been tolerated for centuries, like Thailand. Or why it's forbidden to discuss the high rate of Black violence, Lesbian Domestic Violence, and Gay Bowel Disease.

Liberating tolerance is a kind of oxymoron. I think 'subversive tolerance until the goals of power collection are met' is more like it, since once power is attained, the tolerance disappears into orgies of unilateral murder and eradication by the empowered collectivists. Consolidation and retreat from empowering anybody else except the core elites are the goals, not tolerance.

Nazis and Soviets honed and polished high standards of operational psychopathy practices, which the intelligence agencies since WWII have envied and been endeavoring to perfect and implement even further. The Five Eyes and Mossad are all in a competition for the title.

CRT: The whole of the law is illegitimate, because it revolves around Racial Oppression (which is a retarded statement, given that the essentials of the Common Law predate the knowledge of sub-Saharan Africa, and slavery was illegal in England having been banned in the Dark Ages, at least involving Christians).

But now, CRT believers running government, the law is a legit tool to crush dissent to CRT.

Isn't this exactly what is happening? CEO and politicians (not all but many) are living or have the ability to live in Epstein Island and the uniparty is just fine with this because its the mythical capitalism.
