No paradox there: tolerance is not a moral precept. Relevant quote:

Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty. Tolerance is a social norm because it allows different people to live side-by-side without being at each other’s throats. It means that we accept that people may be different from us, in their customs, in their behavior, in their dress, in their sex lives, and that if this doesn’t directly affect our lives, it is none of our business. But the model of a peace treaty differs from the model of a moral precept in one simple way: the protection of a peace treaty only extends to those willing to abide by its terms. It is an agreement to live in peace, not an agreement to be peaceful no matter the conduct of others. A peace treaty is not a suicide pact.

Meh, I really wouldn't believe him. Not sure there's any verification that Wagner is actually marching on Rostov, aside from whatever Prigozhin claims

I doubt there's going to be an actual uprising. Prigozhin is a windbag: he never follows through. Remember when he was saying that Wagner would pull out of Bakhmut unless they get ammo 'n shit?

They didn't get munitions, and they didn't pull out.

Why would you want to exclude external users as well? The reason why you still saw that post is that /m/StarTrek is a local community
