The premise of the paradox of tolerance is that if you tolerate the wrong people, they'll take over and end all tolerance.
You have to make that case every time you invoke it to call for censoring things you don't like. Are they a realistic threat? How much of a threat should we tolerate?
If you don't make the case, you're just calling for total conformity with all non-conforming thought assumed hostile.
