What's silly about the paradox of intolerance? Why does it not apply to defederating here? I don't grasp it's purported lack of relevance.
You are misunderstanding.
I'm not calling the paradox (or the constitution) silly, I'm saying they don't apply in this scenario.
From the snippet above:
In other words, yeah, if that instance starts getting people to be assholes to everyone etc, sure, tolerance does not mean we should let them do so here, that's the point of the paradox. But, as the author states, suppressing them without cause etc would be most foolish. Far better to try and discuss with rational argument first before resorting to "well, we don't want to talk to you because my MAGA uncle is a dick."
I disagree with you on this and various other points you've made here, but I appreciate you taking the time to elaborate your viewpoint.
Thanks!
