    Batman oppresses crime and everybody thinks he’s cool, I don’t see why oppressing fascists should be any different

      Batman is a billionaire vigilante that destroys half of Gotham every few days. What are you talking about. He would be the first to go full fascist.

    Being tolerant to intolerance leads to more intolerance. Being intolerant to intolerance does not lead to more intolerance.

    It is not just OK, but necessary to be intolerant towards fascist ideologies.

      I see this answer given a lot on reddit when this paradox is brought up so I’ll post it here too. There is no paradox of tolerance because tolerance is not a rule but a social contract. When someone is intolerant they have violated said social contract and thus are no longer covered by it and are not granted tolerance. We tolerate those who tolerate others.
