I'm familiar with the paradox of intolerance. I agree tolerating intolerance is self-destructive.
but don't allow yourself to be fooled into believing this conflict is about keeping intolerance at bay.
intolerance is the root and foundation of the conflict.
tolerance and inclusion help promote diversity and acceptance of differences. I'm not talking about differences on how to go about destroying others, or how others shouldn't be allowed to exist, mind you, but about differences about e.g. how to approach healthy, respectful community life.
the root of the conflict is intolerance to such differences of approach.
the target of the conflict is a nazifascist hunter journalist. her tolerance for nazifascists is zero. this apparently bothers some people, who have been campaigning against her, and finding other excuses to isolate her and the instance where she got like-minded people.
intolerance for leftists has been rampant for years in brazil. bolsonaro has incited people to dehumanize leftists, following nazifascist practice to the letter.
now, I don't like much when @Ursalzona makes fun of nazifascists she blocks. I find it gives them too much visibility. it's a bit like reporting about hate crimes and publishing the hater's face and name. the notoriety emboldens haters, and attracts hate to the publisher.
the antipathy for her seems caused by her intolerance for intolerance
supporting attacks on her resemble sitting at a table with nazis
