This paradox was articulated by philosopher Karl Popper in The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945),[1] where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to execute those who promote intolerance.

At least, that’s what the op apparently read.

You intentionally misquoted. You wrote:

where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to execute those who promote intolerance.

But the real quote is:

where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to deny tolerance to those who promote intolerance.

Why did you do this?
