When I see iterations of this, I like to remind people that there is only a "paradox" if you frame the situation a specific way (the way done in the post).

Alternative framing: tolerance is an agreement to live in peace. When someone violates the peace, they violate the agreement. With this framing, there isn't a "paradox of tolerance" because intolerance inherently violates the peace agreement.

Ce qui est dommage, c'est que ce paradoxe est de plus en plus utilisé par la droite et l'extrême droite... Bref, un simple dessin ne fait pas le tour de la pensée du philosophe. Il faudrait qu'un-e dessinateur-trice s'y colle afin de préciser le concept...!

Tolerance is not a paradox.
Tolerance is not a principle.

Tolerance is an agreement.
Tolerance is a contract.

We agree to tolerate our differences.
Being intolerant breaks the agreement.

Calling for intolerance, breaks the contract. Preaching insults, preaching hatred, pretending superiority breaks the agreement, ends the agreement.

Ends the agreemeant.

The can be no toleration of racism.
