I'll embrace that. Yes, the most tolerant societies tolerate the intolerable, and that's good and right.

Tolerating the intolerable is much worse than that.

A society ends up nourishing something that destroys it, because the intolerable is under no obligation to play fair.

The thing is, whenever you invoke Popper, you're calling the person you disagree with a literal Nazi who wants to liquidate millions of people.

Anything short of that and the logic falls apart -- there's no threat in tolerating some disagreeable person unless they go on to take over the government and forcibly outlaw all disagreement with them.
