The tolerance paradox is the idea that the one thing tolerant people cannot tolerate is intolerance. Doing so allows intolerance to take root and potentially win because it’s unopposed. Which I agree with. Where I split from some people in this and other threads is believing that not tolerating intolerance = killing those you consider intolerant. I grant you only said punching, but if people start beating people en masse (and a lot of people are considered Nazis nowadays) it’s going to escalate very quickly.
