![Screen capture of the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article on Karl Popper’s ‘Paradox of Tolerance’: “The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance; thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance. This paradox was articulated by philosopher Karl Popper in The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945),[1] where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to deny tolerance to those who promote intolerance. Popper posited that if intolerant ideologies are allowed unchecked expression, they could exploit open society values to erode or destroy tolerance itself through authoritarian or oppressive practices.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:n35t2carpjlxravnb7j6v7dd/bafkreibliyjhakpbdnpdjdih3iicpoimnr7q3jpgrw5nq5ljn2e2pizjha)
