Paradox should be the word we're focusing on, not the Paradox of Tolerance, but the Paradox of a liberal democracy in general. It's a middle ground between mob rule and autocracy. People with too much power will become corrupt and the masses are short-sighted. It's a middling between two potentially horrible ideologies. We all fall one way or the other. The idea is that we counteract one another. But some sense of respect, civility, and ultimately humility is required.
