@falcennial@mastodon.social @chasalin@mastodon.chasalin.nl the claim that “no paradox exists because good and evil cannot be mistaken for one another” is actually the thing the tolerance paradox addresses. popper’s whole point was that tolerating intolerance feels like tolerance to many people doing it. you're dismissing the paradox by assuming away the exact difficulty it describes
