The Paradox of Tolerance

The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.

The Paradox of Tolerance website is dedicated to being a free source of graphic material for the creation of buttons, posters, stamps, digital engagement and any media necessary to support unity through respectful tolerance and resist division through divisive "tolerance".

All material is free to be used without copyright restrictions or the need for a credit. All material is free to be manipulated or used in part. It is absolutely not available to be sold or to make a profit from.

Our main objectives: supporting individuals and institutions interested in securing and enhancing our democratic union. Stepping outside party lines, and seeking commonality. Spreading and understanding of the concept of the paradox of tolerance. To re-introduce a working definition of tolerance for political free speech.
