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.

    Please provide an example of “objective harm”. You referenced this concept. You have clearly demonstrated that this concept is essential to understanding the model you have described, but I do not understand what you mean by that statement. Please provide an example to aid my comprehension.

        It is, indeed, a broad question.

        Is it “physical violence” when a Nazi shoots a Jew?

        Is it “physical violence” when a Jew shoots a Nazi?

        What if the Jew in question were David Berkowitz, and the Nazi in question were Oskar Schindler?

              Yes. Depends on the context.

              Objective
              /əbˈdʒɛktɪv/
              adjective

              (of a person or their judgement) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts.

              So,remove your feelings and provide the facts I’m requesting so we can get to the objective logical endpoint.

                Thanks for clarifying.

                The Jew is shooting the Nazi because the Jew believes the Nazi is causing harm to the Jew.

                  The Jew is shooting the Nazi because the Jew believes the Nazi is causing harm to the Jew.

                  Is the Nazi causing the Jew harm beyond the Jew’s personal belief?

                    I am not sure what exactly you are asking here. I will clarify that these are two separate scenarios: there are a total of four people.

                    The Nazi is perforating the Jew’s body with a bullet. There is no question that the Jew is suffering injury from the Nazi’s bullet.
