    Fair, but we’re into semantics at this point; there’s no benefit to anyone in debating that. What you’re describing is still an approach to what’s known as the Paradox of Tolerance.

      When you’re talking about philosophical concepts, semantics matter. Calling the concept a paradox carries the implication that it is irresolvable, and most people aren’t going to engage with the topic beyond the surface-level implications. See the countless slop content on youtube that talks about the “paradox of tolerance” in this very shallow way.

        more broadly: words matter.
        It’s just like how the right has weaponized “socialism”, “communism”, and “anarchy”.
