Yep. Tolerance is a social contract we all agree to participate in. They broke the contract, which means they are no longer bound to or protected by it. Therefore it is not wrong or paradoxical to not tolerate intolerance.
Suck it Karl Popper! /s (e- Previously forgot the sarcasm tag.)
Just because he called it an apparent paradox doesn’t mean that Popper disagrees with you. He merely said that open societies should first fight intolerance with reason and civil discourse; but if that fails, the tolerant majority should hold the right to suppress intolerant opinions.
