This is a paradox well described by Popper. The gist is: You can not be tolerant towards the intolerant.
I never considered it all that much of a paradox. If anything, it’s a linguistic contradiction. It’s a question of whether we should tolerate someone (in-)directly causing/wishing harm onto others. It also doesn’t matter whether they understand it themselves.
A lot of aspects that are considered “political”, are arguably just “harm onto A that benefits B”. I think it is right to call these out. Universal health care, education, affordable housing, etc. Take off the capitalistic monocle, and certain “rights” and “wrongs” are painfully obvious.
