  Nazi lives don’t matter. The paradox of tolerance goes both ways. Do not tolerate the intolerant.

  It’s not even a paradox. Being tolerant means allowing things you disagree with, but only up to a point.

  It is fallacy to think that if we are intolerant to intolerance, we then become intolerant, thus defeating our own tolerance.

  A fallacy mostly promoted by right-wingers.

  The problem I have is that, although we shouldn’t tolerate Nazis, treating their deaths in car accidents as a non-event at best, or a national holiday at worst, does feel like moving toward the same dehumanising treatment that Nazis give to those they hate.

  I don’t like it.
