I understand where you're coming from, I really do.
But deplatform Nazis and fascists. Always and everywhere. They don't operate on the same good faith that you give them, they take every opportunity to spread hate under the cover of "free speech", and if they know they can keep getting away with it, they will.
There can be spaces to deradicalize of course, but that's not the same as giving someone free reign to spout hate.

The Paradox of Tolerance actually favours Bit's argument.
NOT MY OPINION:
Deplatform LGBTQ always and everywhere. They don’t operate on the same good faith that you give them, they take every opportunity to spread hate under the cover of “free speech”, and if they know they can keep getting away with it, they will.
There can be spaces to rehabilitate them of course, but that’s not the same as giving someone free reign to spout hate against traditional family values.

The above is something that would be totally uncontroversial in my country if anyone said it on national TV. In fact, they might be seen as being quite soft on LGBT people since they weren't calling for total eradication of LGBT folk. Interesting you mention paradox of tolerance, the same is used to justify why people should outright hate LGBT folk and never tolerate them (in my country at least).
Then you don't understand the paradox of tolerance. Sure, you can make up attributes to a group to justify discriminating against them but in that case, any rules or reason is already a waste of time since you've already decided discrimination is what is right, the explanation for why is just an afterthought.
However, being LGBT is not an opinion, it's not an ideology, there's no cohesive set of values that they share. Most hopefully agree with equal rights regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity but there are LGBT grifters on the right in the US as well. That's why you can't compare it to the alt-right and/or nazism that are only political viewpoints and very distinctly include discrimination. That last part is very important as it's a big difference-maker when comparing them to other political ideologies that aren't based on discrimination.
Yeah, people should never use a paradox to argue their point. I guarantee you that most people who use it haven't actually read it.
The paradox of tolerance is such a ridiculous notion to me. It's like someone responded to a bad faith argument and the idea caught fire.
There's no paradox. Tolerance doesn't mean you tolerate people punching you (or a bystander) in the face, it means you tolerate who they are - not what they do.
I'm a Jew, and if I run into an old school, final solution Nazi I'm going to think "wow, what a stupid piece of shit excuse for a human being". As a person, I'm going to judge them for being dumb and having terrible moral character, but I'm going to tolerate them.
Now, if I catch them holding a rally, painting swastikas, or just overhear them advocating for the theoretical extermination of my bloodlines, I'm going to react accordingly. That's not about who they are, that's about what they're doing - they can believe whatever they want in their heart of hearts, but the moment they try to spread that shit it's an act of violence, and it demands an appropriate response.
If they spread their nonsense in some private corner of the Internet, you fight back with words. You don't virtually chase them into an echo chamber beyond your reach or into isolation - just because you're on the right side doesn't make your actions right.
By attacking them for who they are (an idiot susceptible to dangerous ideology), you feed their delusions and cut off opportunities for a better take to be hammered into them.
Deplatforming them is a serious thing. When it's just words, correct them, maybe mock them. Deplatforming is what you do only when they organize - you break that shit up, because it transitions from a shitty take to a group that is making increasingly credible threats. And when they start to actually act, you do what you have to do so they fear showing their colors.
You have to police actions - never identity. First you remove the ability to do harm, then you pull them back from the fringes and let them rejoin society (so long as they can abide social norms).
And in doing that, there's no conflict. The paradox only appears when you start to overreach, and at that end lies a different flavor of fascism - theirs is prejudice, on ours is ideological. Regardless, it's still fascism - fascism is all about going after whoever "doesn't belong", regardless of criteria
Tolerance means everyone belongs, it's a nice clear line that has no contradictions - everyone belongs, but you still police actions (including words) appropriately
So you want to create echo-chambers and live in your filter bubble? Fine but don't force that onto others.
