As someone who can read code, lol.
In a democracy, it is important that the election process is understandable and verifiable by a layman. But how many people actually go to verify their elections? Barely anyone, so how and why should you trust the election??? Omg, the end is coming!!! Back in reality, enough people verify the elections and the fact that anyone can check creates the threat of detection. That makes elections generally safe.
Now with open source, a layman can’t understand it or verify it, but they don’t need to. They have to use software that seems to be heavily controlled by non laymans. Compared to closed source software, this is a huge improvement.
It was never a paradox.
You just need to acknowledge that there is a limit to how tolerant the world can be. Maybe it is at 100% but there is a limit.
Then you just need to show that tolerance towards e.g. Nazism result in less tolerance than being intolerant to it.
