The paradox of tolerance disappears when you look at it as a social contract. “I agree to tolerate your weirdness, that doesn’t significantly affect me, if you do the same in turn.” Add in “If you back me when someone breaks the contract, and I will back you in turn.” and you get a very good basis to build on. You end up with a few grey areas, but 95% is obvious.
