#Tolerance#ParadoxOfTolerance#NoToleranceForIntolerance#KarlPopper

An illustrated comic titled "The Paradox of Tolerance" by philosopher Karl Popper explains that unlimited tolerance can lead to the end of tolerance.

Top panel: A woman asks, "Should a tolerant society tolerate intolerance?" A man in a suit with a Nazi armband demands, "You want more tolerance? Respect my ideas!" Another man dressed as a Nazi holds a torch with a swastika and says, "The answer is no."

Middle panels: Text says, "When we extend tolerance to those who are openly intolerant... the tolerant ones end up being destroyed, and tolerance with them." A man suggests giving Nazis a chance, but it leads to a large Nazi rally.

Bottom panels: A Nazi figure is kicked away as text reads, "Any movement that preaches intolerance and persecution must be outside of the law." Karl Popper appears and concludes, "As paradoxical as it may seem, defending tolerance... requires to not tolerate the intolerant."

The source is cited as The Open Society and Its Enemies by Karl R. Popper.
