I think you have it backwards, the paradox of tolerance is the idea that we must be intolerant towards the intolerant, rather than showing tolerance freely to even those that wish us harm. It is seemingly a paradox because it says that to spread tolerance we have to actually be intolerant towards a specific group.

The person who made this is either a troll or a fascist, and to me it doesn't really matter which. Poisoning the meanings of words and theories is an old, old fascist trick and that's all that's happening here.

you should read the article linked in the post, i hope you can reconsider this accusation :)

[Tolerance] is an agreement to live in peace, not an agreement to be peaceful no matter the conduct of others. A peace treaty is not a suicide pact.

I think he's referring to the conflating of tolerance with acceptance of intolerance that is implied by the image text

Although according to someone else's comment, it actually is even darker than that.
