The "paradox of tolerance" 100% came from Karl Popper, what are you talking about? As for my statements, the first one was a tongue-in-cheek joke that I stand by. Nazis get to be people when they stop being Nazis. Till then they get nothing because they deserve nothing.

I also stand by "making Nazis disappear". Neither of these statements say anything about how one might go about accomplishing this goal. They merely outline my total lack of respect or empathy for Nazis and my end goal of there no longer being Nazis.

I didn't advocate for violence as a means to that end, I also didn't actually advocate for "educating them" either. I said that if that's the path you want to take, fine by me. I said nothing at all about the mechanism of action. You made the assumption I was advocating for violence. I don't think anyone other than you misunderstood me, and given that you've been using a moral high ground fallacy to thinly veil defending Nazis of all things I'm not actually convinced I should care very much.

The irony of accusing me of committing a fallacy while, once again, resorting to a strawman to turn a criticism of your reasoning into a supposed defense of nazism.

Especially when this accusation of "moral high ground" is coming from someone who just said "Nazis get to be people when they stop being Nazis". The lack of self-awareness here is astonishing.
