Wait am I just misunderstanding what the Tolerance Paradox is?
My read of the Tolerance Paradox is that it's Ok to punch Nazis because if you render yourself unwilling to participate in violence, there are others who will happily do it for (to) you.
The tolerance paradox is the idea that the one thing tolerant people cannot tolerate is intolerance. Doing so allows intolerance to take root and potentially win because it's unopposed. Which I agree with. Where I split from some people in this and other threads is I don't believe that not tolerating intolerance = killing those you consider intolerant. I know you only said punching, but if people start beating people en masse (and a lot of people are considered Nazis nowadays) it's going to escalate very quickly. Plus some are already calling for more than punching.
I think Ghandi and his followers understood this.
And Ghandi also has quotes saying you have an obligation to try peace at first but sometimes there is no alternative to violence, especially in self-defense.
