edit: this is a pedagogical post, not a philosophical one. i actually fully agree with the paradox of tolerance and its conclusion! i just find that it doesn’t work as well as an educational tool for introducing people to the concept. sorry for any confusion :)
I like the paradox better. It's more eloquent and it extends beyond a society. It can be used in many situations.
Plus, like, social contracts can change. If the society is a bunch of fascists, then clearly they don't give a shit about tolerance. Whereas the paradox can be applied all the time and can be strived for.
