It's cited routinely to justify destroying "tolerant" avenues of communication.

Which I can only interpret as an application of "Rules for Radicals" (the actual book, not the paraphrased bullshit that gets passed around on Facebook images). They enjoy intolerance as an end unto itself, yet they enjoy calling others intolerant, and using their opponents' tolerance as power over them. It hits all the points.

" One of the 20th century's most influential philosophers of science, Popper is known for his rejection of the classical inductivist views on the scientific method in favour of empirical falsification. According to Popper, a theory in the empirical sciences can never be proven, but it can be falsified, meaning that it can (and should) be scrutinised with decisive experiments. Popper was opposed to the classical justificationist account of knowledge, which he replaced with critical rationalism, namely "the first non-justificational philosophy of criticism in the history of philosophy".
