Wiki - The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually ceased or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.

      It is, indeed, a broad question.

      Is it “physical violence” when a Nazi shoots a Jew?

      Is it “physical violence” when a Jew shoots a Nazi?

      What if the Jew in question were David Berkowitz, and the Nazi in question were Oskar Schindler?

            Yes. Depends on the context.

            Objective
            /əbˈdʒɛktɪv/
            adjective

            (of a person or their judgement) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts.

            So,remove your feelings and provide the facts I’m requesting so we can get to the objective logical endpoint.

              Thanks for clarifying.

              The Jew is shooting the Nazi because the Jew believes the Nazi is causing harm to the Jew.

                The Jew is shooting the Nazi because the Jew believes the Nazi is causing harm to the Jew.

                Is the Nazi causing the Jew harm beyond the Jew’s personal belief?
