Isn’t the whole “paradox of tolerance” thing just an even mix of fash trolling and terminal libshit in the first place? Like the only reason someone would ever try to argue from it is if they’re a civility fetishist liberal making excuses for why they have to aid and abet bigotry, or a fascist troll trying to demand you aid and abet their bigotry by imagining that to do anything else would be to commit the cardinal sin of hypocrisy.
Like the correct response to someone appealing to the paradox of tolerance is just :pit: :yes-comm:
You’re right, but this is a palatable and easy to remember/articulate thing for libs to say. It’s useful and opens the conversation up to concepts like social contracts.
