the tolerance paradox

If everyone is tolerant of every idea, then intolerant ideas will emerge. Tolerant people will tolerate this intolerance, and the intolerant people will not tolerate the tolerant people.

The solution is that it's a social contract. I agree to tolerate your weirdness and quirks. You agree to do the same to myself and others.

By being intolerant (without a good reason), they break the social contract. Therefore they are no longer protected by it either.
