    I suppose leftists did all of those things.

    You’re trying to convince me that because Nazis killing Jews is bad, Jews killing Nazis is bad too. That won’t work.

      No, I am not trying to convince you of anything like that. I am saying that the Nazis were only able to justify their intolerance of the Jews by subscribing to an intolerance paradox.

      I am saying that they were following the exact philosophy that you are promoting.

      I am saying that they could not justify their actions under a “tolerance” policy

          The Nazis could justify their intolerance of Jews with anything they wanted.

          That is exactly my point.

          You can justify your intolerance of anyone with anything you want. That’s what the Paradox of Intolerance lets you do. You don’t need any further justification than “I don’t think they like me very much.”.
