1/ Last week I alluded to the paradox of tolerance and included the internet-famous Karl Popper cartoon. I put alt-text on the image and it took a certain amount of effort, so I want to recreate it openly for use in the future.

2/ [What follows is the alt-text. It didn't include the "2/" numbers]

Famous 3 panel comic entitled "The Paradox of Tolerance by Philosopher Karl Popper (Source: "The Open Society and its Enemies." Karl R. Popper)" by Pictoline.com

3/ 1st panel has 2 people on the left with an anti-Nazi speech balloon & a skinhead says "You want more tolerance? Respect my ideas!"

4/ The narrative text, stated by Popper depicted as a white-haired man in a sweater, states: "Should a tolerant society tolerate intolerance? The answer is no."

5/ 2nd panel has a German saying "Let's give them a chance" standing next to Hitler. Narrative states: "When we extend tolerance to those who are openly intolerant, the tolerant ones end up being destroyed and tolerance with them."

6/ 3rd panel: Image is of a large boot kicking Hitler in the rear-end. Popper states: "Any movement that preaches intolerance and persecution must be outside the law. As paradoxical as it may seem defending tolerance requires to not tolerate the intolerant."

7/ I hope this helps people. Also, if you recommend edits - or have global criticism of the manner I write alt-text - please let me know.
