Remember, the true test of tolerance is tolerating the people who are so intolerant they execute the other people you tolerate on a regular basis.

The paradox of tolerance isn’t as interesting when physical violence is involved, because you obviously fight violence back if possible (ie not tolerated).

The discussion is more interesting when one party’s feelings are so hurt by words (due to low self esteem, mental health issues, etc.) that there is a movement that starts not tolerating speech.

E.g. I have worked with teen mentoring and some of these people think it is physical abuse if you ask them to do chores (due to privileged upbringing).

Tolerating the intolerant is made much easier when they provide your oil. At least that’s my take on the western world.

If that’s tolerance, I don’t want any of it.
