Popper at least has the decency to call it a paradox. This quote fully assumes that anyone that does not agree with the author on everything is intolerant and deserves to be excluded.

I have a hard time imagining that that's what Popper meant.

The "paradox" is only that people incorrectly assume that an inclusive society accepts all sort of behaviors.

It is in no way a real paradox.

I thought all paradoxes were based on incorrect assumptions of one kind or another.

What makes one paradox real while another is not?

No, a paradox is a contradiction in itself, like the famous "this sentence is false": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox

As I understand it, there is not a single clear definition of what is meant when we say that something is true. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, seems to list at least five major schools of thought on the subject.[1]

So, given "This sentence is false" it seems to me that there must be assumptions behind it that cause us to perceive it as a paradox.

Interested in your thoughts, if you wish to say more.
