US system is hilarious - it would be funnier if it didn't have worldwide implications
Sounds fantastic!
You're taking an authoritarian perspective. Fair, but I disagree. Tolerance is important because we as a society grow and evolve due to the discussion of ideas, simple or complex as they may be.
The paradox is that to achieve a tolerant society we must be absolutely intolerant to intolerant ideas otherwise intolerance "wins" and becomes the norm.
Exactly: in order to promote tolerance we must be intolerant to intolerance. It's a paradox described by Popper.
With the Netanyahu government, that's the more plausible explanation.
