Fascists don't believe that, and will happily kill people with different ideas if they get the power to do so.
This is the paradox of tolerance. It's pretty well understood, except apparently on online message boards where there are somehow always a bunch of people ready to jump to the intellectual defense of Nazis (evidence: this comments page.)
- gadders 2y agoCommunists have killed their political opponents as well. I don't think it's limited to Nazis.
- lukev 2y agoI never said it was. FYI, whataboutism in a thread about Nazis makes it look a little like you're defending Nazism. Was that your intent? If not, what did you intend to add to the conversation with this (true) observation?
