Q. Can intolerance of intolerance be considered justifiable?
A. Intolerance is the views, beliefs and associated behaviours of acting unjustly towards others whose views, beliefs and behaviours you disagree with.
If the views, beliefs and behaviours you disagree with are ones that you would consider to be "intolerant", acting unjustly towards them is still intolerance.
Two wrongs do not make a right. And if one considers intolerance to be inherently wrong, as one logically must if they are to be intolerant of it, then this makes it doubly wrong. Two wrongs. The wrong of intolerance, and the wrong of hypocrisy.
Is intolerance inherently wrong?
