The paradox of tolerance, first described by Karl Popper in 1945, is a decision theory paradox. The paradox states that if a society is tolerant without limit, their ability to be tolerant will eventually be seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Popper came to the seemingly paradoxical conclusion that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.
Tolerance is the inability to withstand physiologically or psychologically something harmful.
Tolerance is allowing or accepting without any kind of defense: The victim tolerated being abused.
Intolerance is the ability to withstand physiologically or psychologically something harmful.
Intolerance is resisting or opposing by any means of defense: The victim avoided being abused.
