    A paradox is a seemingly contradictory statement which is actually not a contradiction if you look closely. That’s why it’s named like this. Being intolerant towards fascists and other intolerant groups is actually a way to promote tolerance, it’s a tolerant act.

      It’s not a tolerant act, but the result is that the base level of tolerance is higher, so it’s an acceptable compromise.
