I agree with you here, and I'm struggling because it leads me to the tolerance paradox.

Ranking free speech above tolerance is what causes this. He didn't tolerate others, he actively argued that people, including children, should die for various terrible reasons. He broke the social contract. He was no longer entitled to tolerance or protection from being killed. You lose that protection the second you say someone else should be killed because of who they were born as.

This free speech supremacy nonsense is garbage. White supremacists should not be tolerated in civil society. People who advocate for others to die (based on who they were born) deserve people advocating for and pursuing their death in return as self defense. You don't get to get away with stochastic terrorism then pretend you didn't do anything wrong.
