    This isn’t about the paradox of tolerance; the paradox of tolerance refers to a social contract, not a legal framework.

    You have the legal right to spew hate and vicious trash. You do NOT have the right to be free of social opprobrium should you do so. As soon as you start legally limiting speech based on what you think is acceptable, you create a legal framework for other people to do the same.

      Nobody said it was a legal framework. I am applying the paradox to how we should frame it legally.

      The rest of your argument was already covered in my post.
