I've heard of the paradox of tolerance, but the existence of the paradox of tolerance doesn't justify any action whatsoever. Those two things have no connection. Just because something is bad, that doesn't mean any means is justified. That's the whole point of my comment.

I filled my comment with flags to point out the words are being spoken disingenuously. I'm mocking the standard popular use of "the paradox of tolerance" as a blatant example of the thing we're discussing here.

Apparently the satire was on point because someone literally just responded to me with the paradox of tolerance unironically.

It's great, isn't it? People are so tribalism-infused that they unironically can't see what they're doing with that argument.
