    I think the divide on this issue has a lot of parallels with the paradox of tolerance.

    In the eyes of many, punching down and crossing lines of social/human decency is permissible when dealing with high-profile professional peddlers of punching down and crossing lines of social/human decency.

    I’m not exactly arguing in favor of it or trying to convince you, but I think that’s the angle when you’re dealing with a crowd that has contempt for the person but not for actual racial reasons.

      I agree with your analysis. I hate Popper’s paradox of tolerance though. Not because I disagree with it but because of how it’s used by angry leftists to justify their own hatred. I do think fascists should be executed, but only the ones that truly would kill others for their ideology. Too many people on the left are fine with killing those that merely provide cover for the truly violent by agreeing with their views but not having the conviction to carry them out. ACAB people bother me this way. Patel is a piece of trash. But he’s a worthless piece of it. Let him drink himself to death. Let him be an example to his people.
