    Just to be clear, you are the one advocating for tolerating those promoting intolerance in this situation.

    You have laid it out very clearly here.

    That is why you are subject to the paradox. Nothing to do with complicated situations or anything. You are saying people who push an ideology of inequality and intolerance.deserve a voice. I do not agree.

      Depends how you define tolerance I suppose. If your opponent is going to harm themselves, though, you should let them.

      edit: Consider it this way. Do you think a Nazi march improves their position in the slightest? Does it strengthen Nazi ideas in any way, shape or form?

      I don’t think it does, personally. People that want to follow that ideology already do, I do not think it would increase their support in any way.

        I agree with you; if I started going out to pro-Nazi marches and started killing a few of them out openly in the street, it would create martyrs and bolster their support and make them more resolute to continue their shitty movement, and in fact empower more morons to join them.
