  I thought it stops being a paradox when you realize it’s part of the social contract. Violate it too much and you’re no longer guaranteed society’s succor.

    Ultimately, it’s all a wash. The nazis we are punching would say their targets broke the social contract first. Tolerance should be an aspect of your morality, not the whole thing (and hopefully, that being said, your morality says punching nazis is okay).

      Nope. The concept of the contract is that those who do not practice tolerance are not protected by it.

      It’s also worth exploring what intolerance is.

      Thinking members of a religion/party/social group are wrong or crazy isn’t being intolerant - that’s simply disagreement. Intolerance is saying they shouldn’t be allowed to exist or to have the same rights as you.

      The fascists discriminate on religion, sexual orientaion/identity, gender, political affiliation, race, national origin, and more. They are wildly intolerant, and therefore do not have to be tolerated.

      you are morally obligated to go beyond than just punching one.

      It disagrees with you. Punching Nazis is not okay. Wood chipper.
