The document discusses the paradox of tolerance theory and how it has been used both to support the inclusion and exclusion of minority groups from liberal democracies. It explores existential discussions around issues of tolerance, such as whether hate speech should be protected or religious attire banned. The document also notes that a poll on diversity recorded views on extending civil freedoms to groups across the political spectrum in a neutral way.

1. Is Tolerance a Paradox
Theory?

2. For many years, individuals who fought for the inclusion
of minority groups were most likely to hold the belief
that safeguarding liberal democracy and its people
meant we should not tolerate speech, views, or groups
that impinge on others' freedoms and civil rights.

3. . However, the "paradox of
tolerance" theory has also
recently been used to
support the exclusion of
minority groups.

4. Many of the existential
discussions that define
contemporary politics
centre on issues of
tolerance.

5. Such as whether or not it is acceptable to outlaw
religious attire or if hate speech is protected speech.

6. Canadian politician Wajid Khan says Is
it tolerating something disliked, such as
the existence of an outsider group? Is it
the lack of discrimination towards
members of minorities?

7. We must note that we created poll
questions to record responses to
diversity rather than views against
specific out-groups.

8. Furthermore, unlike past research that mainly
focused on extending civil freedoms to groups
affiliated with the political left but not the
political right. Wajid Khan MP concludes our
measurements are chronologically and
ideologically neutral.
