In order to be tolerant we must remove everyone that does not agree
But instead of talking about the merits of the behavior, folks want to throw out the “tolerance” card.
You want that to stop? Then stop.
I don't think it works this way. When Selam Gano wrote her original hate piece, she concluded that people like Stallman need to be removed, and if necessary, MIT should be burned to the ground. What people? "Jeffrey Epstein. Marvin Minsky. Richard Stallman." The sentence has been passed.
She didn't demand an apology or a change of behavior. She wanted punishment. By putting Minsky next to Epstein, and Stallman next to Minsky, she wanted to create the impression that somehow the terrible monster, the AI pioneer and the founder of the GNU project are same kind of terrible scum that needs to be completely removed to make the world better.
Now used as a cudgel to intimidate and harass everyone who does not follow the party line.
Often the harassers profit financially from their bigotry, which makes them gigantic hypocrites.
Popper knew things like forgiveness, not taking single statements out of context, not reading too much into statements, not misquoting people and much more.
Please do not associate Popper with mob justice. He would have despised the mob.
