Unlimited tolerance is how open societies commit suicide. Elon Musk just warned that societies holding incompatible values eventually hit a reckoning. Karl Popper made the exact same point in 1945 while watching fascists and communists use open societies’ own tolerance against them. Popper wrote that unlimited tolerance must lead... to the disappearance of tolerance. If a society keeps extending tolerance to people who openly want to destroy it and refuses to defend itself, the intolerant win and tolerance dies with them. He never demanded censorship first. Argue with intolerant ideas. Suppress them only when they stop arguing and start using force. 80 years later Musk is asking the same question: how much can a tolerant society tolerate before it stops being one?show more

Interesting. I was just thinking something similar.

What happens when unlimited tolerance meets absolute intolerance (islam) ? There is no room for Islam in Western societies.

@elonmusk What does it say in the constitution of the United States 🇺🇸 of America 🇺🇸 We the People: Citizens of America 🇺🇸 will unite against whoever and whatever comes wicked this way… Take action against all enemies and start over 🇺🇸 1776… 🇺🇸

Which is exactly why George Soros named his organization "Open Society". He knew that the name alone would be enough to lull people into submission as he destroyed all actual open societies. He was being ironic while working to destroy what he hated so much.

@elonmusk True

@elonmusk Ici en France impossible de mettre des vidéos de vous où du président Trump ! Nous sommes censuré encore plus ! Je n'avais plus de visibilité ! La c'est pire ! Le pays de la liberté d’expression est fini

@elonmusk Elon is right!

“Unlimited tolerance” is focusing on secondary symptoms rather than primary causes. The FUNDAMENTAL causes are: 1. Rejecting REASON. 2. Rejecting INDIVIDUALISM. 3. Rejecting PROPERTY RIGHTS. 4. Rejecting FREEDOM. Accepting the non-objective/the subjective, accepting Comtean altruism/sacrifice over rational self-interest, accepting mysticism/collectivism/statism are how and why we are in the current downward spiral. Values: Reason, Purpose, Self-Esteem Virtues: Rationality, Productivity, Pride, Honesty, Integrity, Independence, Justice It’s not that complicated. Most people—even the majority of those who profess otherwise—attack anyone advocating a truly moral society bound together in liberty. They would run away screaming if they were presented the opportunity to live in a world of real freedom. “Unlimited tolerance” is a cop out and a simplistic diversion from the truth: we have met the enemy, and he is us…

Interesting. A tolerant society is tolerant until it is no longer a society. Suicidal empathy.

Unlimited tolerance is extremely TOXIC. If parents have unlimited tolerance towards children’s bad behavior, that will be DANGEROUS. Tolerance MUST has a boundary; it NOT unlimited. Having unlimited tolerance of BAD green guys with incompatible values is like giving unlimited

Tolerant to oligarchs like Elon? Who are part of the control system but pretend they care about humanity. Go back to Aplha Centauri Elon. Cowards like your kind came here because they were losers at home. You couldn’t make it amongst your own kind so you came to earth to rob.

Well, establishing a system of rules to argue instead of ACT (and mute those who seek to act), while the other side’s intolerance is manifest action incarnate - makes for a platform and society (the civil half) who are trained to bite their tongue and live as feckless complainers about horrors committed against them.

Apparently these mind controlled bots can tolerate going to jail for self defense and freedom of speech while they give red carpet treatment to genocidal, demonic, mass child murdering maniacs who rob and steal all they can from every nation they can.

X is the preferred news app for normal-moderate-centrist far right extremists!

@elonmusk Unlimited tolerance is how Muslim Communists become mayor of NYC after Muslim terrorists tried to destroy it

…it is just “Good vs Evil” now…

We never wanted to be tolerant. We wanted a high trust, Godly, and nuclear family based nation. We will have our country back, thank you.

Just like “fuks” I have no more tolerance to give.

The only way back to normal, is to adopt a zero tolerance policy. No more playing the games of the clinically insane.

@elonmusk So true!

@elonmusk We need to stop showing any tolerance, and enforce our laws. We also need to load every plane with Islamic Muslims and return them to the Middle East. Never should they EVER be allowed back in the United States of America.🔔🔔✨🌟⭐️🚀🛰️🚘♥️🤍💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@elonmusk Problem stems from a perspective that views the absolute intolerance of Fascism and Communism as what establishes the two extreme ends of the tolerance scale. In that framework, tolerance is an illusion.

But why are you using an interview where @elonmusk does so much damage to himself - for: 'Unlimited tolerance is how open societies commit suicide'? Was that on purpose?

@elonmusk Popper’s rule was to argue against bad ideas, and only fight when they start the fighting. But he expected the threat to come as a mob, and it didn’t. It comes as policy now — and there’s no arguing with policy. They don’t break the law. They write it. How do you fight that?

@elonmusk Quote of the day! “How much can a tolerant society tolerate before it stops becoming one”. First, gay marriage, then gays adopting children, now questioning gender, & boys in girl’s showers & sports. Some Muslims condone men marrying 8 yr old girls. How far do we go??? 🤔

@elonmusk Elon is not wrong. Americans holding to our nation’s founding Judeo-Christian values, principles and ideals are in direct opposition to those who do not. Now is a time of testing, separating American patriots from those who are not.

It's people thinking they will somehow be elevated through martyrdom by an enemy that doesn't really give a shit whether they live or die.

Agree
