Are you familiar with the „paradox of tolerance“ already? You can read about it here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
First paragraph copied for your convenience:
„The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly paradoxical idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.“
