The “paradox” of tolerance is based on the misconception that allowing people to express their ideas is equivalent to endorsing them.

It's based on the fact they're endorsing them. I'm not worried about what letting Nazis speak says about me. I'm worried about them being Nazis.

"I'm going to kill you" is obviously intolerable.

"We're going to kill everyone like you" is obviously worse.
