I don't see this playing out well either. Instead, the subjective definition of "intolerance" stretches to the point where it becomes "stuff I don't like", resulting in continually-increasing polarization, with groups becoming more intolerant to other groups because those other groups are "intolerant" towards them.
There is no simplistic algorithm describing "a way to stop this". These are complex social phenomena...emergent behavior in an overwhelmingly complex system with 8 billion non-rational actors. Karl Popper was a genius, but I think he's wrong on this.
