People like to pretend that everything is simple. That every problem has a straight forward, easy solution. That the paradox of tolerance is not real, because you could simply look at it a bit differently and it magically disappears, or something. People claim a soothing claim that all you need to do to make the paradox go away is to think of it as a "social con...

The paradox of tolerance isn’t a contradiction.
It’s a warning.
Love without discernment invites its own destruction.
So we must ask:How do we preserve open society—without letting it be devoured by those who would close it?

CW: On "not choosing sides" when one side wants to eliminate the other.
I've never been a fan of the wolves/sheep metaphor, because "sheep" is so often used as an insult for those who are either not violent enough or not contrarian enough for the speaker. (No, not even when it includes sheepdogs protecting the sheep from the wolves, because it's still being used to express contempt for the "sheep.")
But the post here is still a good round up of several ways people have tried to explain that no, if you accept both the attackers and their targets, you're de-facto choosing the attackers over their targets, including the classic #ParadoxOfTolerance and the #NaziBar analogy along with the one partially quoted below.
Refusing to Choose Is a Choice.
You can say ‘all are welcome,’ but if wolves and sheep are both welcome then you’re only going to get wolves.

Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance applies to RELIGION as much as it does Racism and Fascism. You cannot believe in equal rights for all people when your God prefers one group of people over another.

Apparently a number of the faculty at this school have never heard of the paradox of tolerance. Dumb and dumber.

6.10: The Dilemma of Utopian Joy: Ariel & Christina Discuss
While solarpunks often choose to stand in direct opposition to selfishness, greed, and systemic problems, the choice to be kind and to prioritize joy, sympathy, and understanding is also central to solarpunk in fiction and in real life. As Christina and Ariel discuss, while acts of kindness occur in all sorts of fictions, even cyberpunk and dystopian fictions, acts of kindness in solarpunk stories tend to be transformative, especially for the person or group on the receiving end. They then explore the sacrifices that it takes (and who has to make them) in order to maintain peace, prosperity, and joy in society by two famous solarpunk–adjacent stories set in utopias, “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” by Ursula K. LeGuin and “The Ones Who Stay and Fight” by N.K. Jemisin. Christina is not sure if she’s on board for either of these stories, but she agrees with the premise that now is the time not to walk away in disillusionment, but to fight hard for human rights, justice, and fairness in all of our different political systems and societies.

No, there are times when we cannot agree to disagree.
-
So, if we mostly can agree on the "paradox of tolerance", that we shouldn't tolerate the intolerant to influence how we operate our society, because they will destroy tolerance…
Then shouldn't we also consider that maybe there's a similar paradox on not using democracy to let anti-democratic forces take over a democratic society, because they will dismantle democracy?

"The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a societal contract."

Yup... If you have a confederate flag tattoo, you're not welcome in my house. I will not spend money with you. I will not recommend your business to others.

There are literally just 3 tiny steps, from being a free-speech-misunderstander, over defending nazi ideology in the name of free speech, over crying "woke cancel culture", to being a nazi.
Some people walk these steps within one sentence.

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."
- Karl Popper (1945)

Tolerance is not a moral precept (2017)
Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty. Tolerance is a social norm because it allows different people to live side-by-side without being at each other’s throats. It means that we accept that people may be different from us, in their customs, in their behavior, in their dress, in their sex lives, and that if this doesn’t directly affect our lives, it is none of our business. But the model of a peace treaty differs from the model of a moral precept in one simple way: the protection of a peace treaty only extends to those willing to abide by its terms. It 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.
