>this paradox is used to justify mobbing, harassing, threatening, and assaulting a lot of innocent people (or people whose infractions were trivial) I don't think it should be used that way, since it should apply to things which are threats to democracy in the strongest sense, so I'd say it should probably include Nazis and anti-Semites but not include someone like Damore (for instance), as abhorrent as a person I think he is. Or rather, how Damore is treated shouldn't be covered by a rationalization on the paradox of tolerance. I think our approaches differ in that I don't have so much of a problem with a non-value neutral society.
