ah yes the eternal debate on tolerance of evil.
Yeah, the paradox of tolerance.
My favorite solution that I've heard, is to treat tolerance not as a moral imperative, but rather as a social contract.
Anyone who is tolerant will have tolerance extended to them. Those who are intolerant, on the other hand, can fuck right off.
Secularly everything has to be a social contract because there is no moral authority.
Well, for your own moral behaviour, you'd be the authority...
You're saying the same thing.
