Paradox of Tolerance

7 March 2021 at 21:18

I recently (today) made the decision to become a Unitarian Universalist. I have spent the past few weeks researching UUism and had one question that I couldn't really find an answer to: what do y'all think of the paradox of tolerance, or the idea that "if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant"? Do you think that UUism and society at large is immune to that because if we're tolerant enough, the intolerant would eventually get annoyed and voluntarily leave or should we do something to actively discourage intolerance? I personally think that we should tolerate intolerant ideas until the people who hold these ideas start acting on them but I'm not sure if that's the best solution and would really like to hear some alternate ideas. Thanks!
