Scot HackerBest explanation I've seen of why the Paradox of Tolerance is no paradox at all.
Elle Nerdinger M.A.@shacker #Alt4You to copy/paste edit
The Paradox of tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.
If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it.
In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.
Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

@shacker @forschungstorte cool! Is it worth editing the original post to say that then, since it looks like it’s generating a lot of unneeded side traffic?
@potatogunkelly @forschungstorte Did I say otherwise at some point? Not sure I want to dig through this mega thread. Let it be.
@shacker yep! You made a factually incorrect statement, and loads of people took your incorrect statement at face value and responded to it, and as I can see you responding to them and clarifying we both know you know that‘s the case, so I‘m not sure what purpose you think this disingenuity serves beyond giving me a super accurate read on the value of reading you or engaging with you but it has definitely accomplished that
