I hate to be that guy, but the families are evacuated to the saucer section that he's using as a shield!

I'm going to cry in my comic books alone now, guys.

In the article, the writer discussed how Karl Popper tackled the issues that democracy, as a political ideal, faces. Particularly when you live in a society where different people hold different and opposing beliefs and values. Take for instance, people who take issue with race and diversity.

His thesis was that in order to preserve democratic freedoms, it may be necessary to use force to quell intolerance. It's an interesting paradox. Even though people have the right to free speech, using that right to impede on others' rights and well-being will undermine its very foundation.

Conflict is necessary to continue looking for ways to improve the quality of life for society as a whole. But when conflict becomes violent and intolerance resorts to force in order to have what it wants, then the only way to preserve the democratic society is not to tolerate intolerance which might necessitate force.

On a different note, we also need to consider that democracy is an ideal and it has the possibility of taking on different meanings for different people and societies. But that, for now, is beside the point.
