Paradox of tolerance.

The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.

In a tolerant society we must be intolerant of intolerance.

Edit - My mistake, I somehow was blind to the first in-.

In a tolerant society we must be intolerant of intolerance.

No we musn't. The intolerant have broken the social contract and are no longer extended that latitude.

Screw the paradox. Tolerance is a social contract. Intolerant people aren't covered by the contract, therefore intolerance of intolerance isn't hypocritical or paradoxical.
