    Look up the paradox of tolerance. In order to be tolerant, you must be intolerant of intolerance.

      ok. lets just round up all the intolerant people and re-educate them until they are tolerant like we are.

      because it’s totally cool fo us tolerant people to be fascists, as long as we are eliminating fascism!

        Hey man, I’m just sharing the philosophical concept of what happens when a society is tolerant of everyone.

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

        No one is suggesting that only fascism can prevent fascism. It’s the ‘right to refuse service’ when people are being an asshole, and you have to exercise that right when people go too far. There have to be some consequences for being intolerant in order to maintain a tolerant society.
