Intolerant Jreg

This video is a brilliant take down the tolerance paradox and how we incorrectly talk about tolerance. Like most Jreg videos it never really ventures out of ironic criticism, but instead struggles to run around in circles to create the 'most intolerant' position. Much like we can see people do today wirh the discussion on tolerance and if tolerating intolerance is tolerant or intolerant.

Truth is this is an example of bad framing. You never get pure tolerance or pure intolerance because they are dependent terms. You can be more or less tolerant, but you can't never be intolerant or tolerant. And since even being more tolerant overall could still mean you tolerate Nazis and don't tolerate other races, we have to talk about values. It matters more that we agree that we tolerate good things and do not tolerate bad things than it is that we have similar levels of tolerance all together. But we have confused tolerating those with different values to us as a bad thing, unless they also are intolerant to those with different values. This is where the paradox really comes into effect. But the issue is it's fine to be intolerant of somebody purely because they value things you don't, even if they claim to be the most tolerant person when it comes to other people's views. If they do that while supporting say, an age of consent of 12, I won't tolerate them.

Hopefully this gives people a little to chew over. Tell me, what take away did you get from the Jreg video? Is the paradox of tolerance an issue for you?
