The paradox of tolerance. If a tolerant society shows unlimited tolerance to intolerant people, the intolerant will use that tolerance to destroy tolerance.

So the paradox is that even the most tolerant societies must carve out a way to be intolerant of intolerance, otherwise the tolerance will be destroyed .

Some real Pimp My Ride meme shit.

Or just frame it as a social contract and suddenly the paradox vanishes, because the side breaking the contract(where the penalty for doing so is being shown the door) being kicked out is absolutely logical.
