Popper predicated that right on the right to self-defense against people who use "fists or pistols" instead of words to argue.
Has RMS been out there punching or shooting people or using some other physical violence? Last I knew he wasn't even accused of intolerance at all but of some absurd defense of his now-dead friend who was accused of going to Epstein's island.
