The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.
In a tolerant society we must be intolerant of intolerance.
Edit - My mistake, I somehow was blind to the first in-.
In a tolerant society we must be intolerant of intolerance.
No we musn't. The intolerant have broken the social contract and are no longer extended that latitude.
Screw the paradox. Tolerance is a social contract. Intolerant people aren't covered by the contract, therefore intolerance of intolerance isn't hypocritical or paradoxical.
You are agreeing. They said we must be INtolerant of intolerance.
You are correct, I misread what they wrote despite quoting it. Whoops. 🙂
My only disagreement with Popper is hes too lenient in what counts as intolerant
Nazis deserve exactly as much mercy and tolerance as they give to others.
There, the solution!
Repay everyone exactly as much tolerance as they give to you

Violence against Nazis isnt the answer, its a question and the answer is always yes.
Saw him play recently in Alabama. They were selling this phrase on a shirt. Much to my surprise, that shirt was sold out by the time I went to pick it up. I was pleasantly shocked.
Saw someone wearing that shirt in a shopping mall in the UK!
$50 each no doubt
That's how bands make most of their money in the streaming era and with ticketmaster raking in a big chunk of the ticket sales despite not providing much.

The only viable solution when Nazis take control of government is violence. There is no reasoning with them, they are not logical.
This is correct, and also, Nazis don't care about good faith argumentation. They're explicitly anti-liberal (as in, liberty, freedom) and will only pretend to have these values to try and point out an apparent contradiction ("You believe in rights to speech and democracy, so why are you censoring us?")
In this video of former white supremacists talking about how they left the ideology, one brings up that on their Nazi website, it was normal and common to argue for points they knew were garbage, like the Great Replacement theory. It's about power and results, not liberalist idealism.
Violent methods usually aren't the preferred way of dealing with Nazis (because it's harder to get a mass movement to join in and support it, and because it's riskier, legally, which makes it harder to sustain), but it works. It broke up the BUF in Britain, it's kept the local turds scared to show their faces or reveal their true thoughts (don't worry, they still usually get revealed by researchers anyway). Violence works. They know it and we know it. But when they're the government, their violence is now legal.
these values to try and point out an apparent contradiction ("You believe in rights to speech and democracy, so why are you censoring us?")
Nazis want to take that freedom
Of course, but it's there now and they're happy to abuse it. Call them hypocrites all you want, they couldn't care less.
Yeah? You and what army? Seriously tho I'm looking to join.
I am exercising my 2nd amendment rights, purchasing multiple firearms for multiple purposes and have signed up for classes at a local range. I'm with you, but acknowledge that this part of it feels like a lonely endeavor.
Wish the UK's right to defend itself wasn't banned in 1997.
History has proven this.

Nazis deserve to be shot and killed
Nazi is a mental illness, sequester them and heal, or keep boxed forever incommunicado to prevent spread of the disease.
the goat
I wanna hear everyone's fight music! I've been leaning on RTJ the last few days.
Show Me the Body is great.
Probably a lot of obvious choices on here, but I like to think of it as honoring the classics of the genre, and hopefully there are a few entries which are new to folks.
- Crime Mob - Knuck if You Buck (this goes at the start of the playlist, because, in my experience, playing this to a crowd of significant size will result in hands being thrown somewhere, it is a statistical inevitability)
- Godsmack - I Stand Alone
- ~~Pantera - Walk~~ Phil Anselmo is a Nazi shit weasel and I was unaware.
- Limp Bizkit - Rollin
- Rage Against the Machine - Fistful of Steel
- Lil Wayne ft Eminem- Drop the World
- CKY - 96 Quite Bitter Beings
- DMX - X Gon Give It To Ya
- Ludacris - Get Back
- KMFDM - Free Your Hate
- Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass
- Powerman 5000 - When Worlds Collide
- Static-X - Push It
- DJ Shadow ft Run the Jewels - Nobody Speak
- Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand
- Slipknot - People=Shit
- Slayer - Raining Blood
- Holy Fuck - Tom Tom
- Danzig - Mother
- Queens of the Stone Age - You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire (gotta find an edit without the intro tho)
- Mastodon - Blood and Thunder
- Mïngle Härder (formerly Möngöl Hörde) - Blistering Blue Barnacles
Two nautical themed metal/hardcore songs which get me ready to tussle isn't a lot, but it is weird that it happened twice.
- Rise Against - State of the Union
- Coheed and Cambria - Key Entity Extraction V: Sentry the Defiant (with honorable mention to In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3 and Welcome Home)
- Chevelle - The Red
- Bullet For My Valentine - Waking the Demon
- Eve 6 - Think Twice
- Hole - Violet
- Dead Kennedys - Nazi Punks Fuck Off
- Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Winds
That seems like enough brainstorming for now. Hope someone finds something they vibe with.
Definitely need to take Pantera off your Nazi fighting list.
Oh Jesus fucking Christ. Thank you for letting me know, I'll edit that immediately. The worst part is that I've conditioned myself to cope with the news I've just received by listening to Pantera.

I've known about KMFDM for a long time but discovered Free Your Hate about this time in 2017, it's too bad it's that relevant again but at least we've got some good Nazi-punching music.
In all honesty, I have no idea how I came across that song. Despite some of the other selections that are also in that mold, industrial metal isn't actually a genre I fuck with that much. I'm open to it, especially as I've continued to get comfortable in some of the less melodic subgenres, but the actual wave of popularity these bands were riding on missed me as a kid and ive come to it later.
I assume that it must have been included in a video game soundtrack of some kind? In fact, as I've been writing this comment, I think it may have been a part of the Brutal Legend soundtrack, and I had all of that stuff on my iPod at the time.
Song do go pretty hard tho, don't it?
