Not going to downvote but no I sharply disagree.

Nazi lives don't matter. The paradox of tolerance goes both ways. Do not tolerate the intolerant.

Btw this story was in May 2018 and sadly is not from a recent event (Nazis regime is now in the white house)

    Nazi lives don't matter. The paradox of tolerance goes both ways. Do not tolerate the intolerant.

    It's not even a paradox. Being tolerant means allowing things you disagree with, but only up to a point.

    It is fallacy to think that if we are intolerant to intolerance, we then become intolerant, thus defeating our own tolerance.

    A fallacy mostly promoted by right-wingers.

    The problem I have is that, although we shouldn't tolerate Nazis, treating their deaths in car accidents as a non-event at best, or a national holiday at worst, does feel like moving toward the same dehumanising treatment that Nazis give to those they hate.

    I don't like it.
