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.

I encourage you to read my other comments, where I address Karl Popper directly.

By cheering for a mob to use physical violence to preemptively shut down someone’s speech, you are acting as the exact intolerant, anti-democratic threat that Popper warned about

Speech should not include absolute hatred.

The influencer is intolerant and must not be granted tolerance.
