You don’t even need to cite the paradox of tolerance. Explicit threats are already deemed not to be covered by the First Amendment. It’s pretty hard to argue that hate speech is not an explicit threat.
Its not even a paradox really. Tolerance is a social contract. If a party violates it through intolerance they are no longer covered by this mutual agreement.
A tolerant society tolerates everything but intolerance. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

Agreed, but I’m not sure what a better name for the concept would be and a lot of people really need to understand it.
I am so sick of assholes saying, “you lefties are supposed to be tolerant!” when called out on their bigotry.
People who say that confuse liberals with the left.
They also don’t understand what tolerance is.
I’d probably just rename it more descriptively: The Contract of Tolerance
