I don’t see it. How does a society tolerating the intolerant not enable them to be intolerant, even if you believe in social contract theory?

I remember being told it makes more sense when you realize it’s a part of the social contract. Breaching it prevents you from taking part in it.

Indeed. If one side breaks the contract, the other isn’t bound by it anymore.
