No. Tolerance is a social contract that these shitheads rejected, and therefore deserve none.

So by "no" you mean "yes"?

...a truly tolerant society must retain the right to deny tolerance to those who promote intolerance. [...] if intolerant ideologies are allowed unchecked expression, they could exploit open society values to erode or destroy tolerance itself through authoritarian or oppressive practices.

By "No" I mean that it's not a paradox

[-] egrets@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Fair, but we're into semantics at this point; there's no benefit to anyone in debating that. What you're describing is still an approach to what's known as the Paradox of Tolerance.

[-] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 4 points 4 days ago

When you're talking about philosophical concepts, semantics matter. Calling the concept a paradox carries the implication that it is irresolvable, and most people aren't going to engage with the topic beyond the surface-level implications. See the countless slop content on youtube that talks about the "paradox of tolerance" in this very shallow way.
