    Open-minded and understanding?

    This is an ironic comic. I’d say it’s making fun of both sides, but you know that’s not the intent so it’s just super cringey.

    Edit: Oh, it seems I’ve upset the open-minded and understanding. Perhaps the irony has flown over their open heads. Enjoy distancing your family this Thanksgiving and not understanding why you grow less tolerated and heard by uncles.

      Yes, yes, we should totally be understanding of the people who want to see my cousin dead and my uncle run out of the country.

      /s because there are sadly a lot of people who legitimately think this way

        Reminder: there is no such thing as the paradox of tolerance.

        The rules of tolerance only applies to the people who abide by it.

        Therefore, you are tolerant of tolerant people if you abide by the rules of tolerance. You are intolerant of intolerant people if you abide by the rules of tolerance.

        It is very straightforward, the only pathway to paradox is from a lack of lexical understanding of the rules of tolerance.
