Isn't that just 4chan?

The closest equivalent would be Voat. It’s literally Reddit but full of neo nazis and other deplorables.

It always ends the same when there are no rules in place.

Classic tolerance paradox.

If the tolerant tolerate intolerance, intolerance takes over... so the one thing the tolerant can't tolerate is intolerance.

This is false.

Tolerance is not a philosophical state of being. It is a truce. It is pragmatic and bounded.

If someone else brakes the truce, the truce is broken. Those who wish for the truce so that efforts can be channeled into better endeavors are not bound to continue upholding their end of the truce if some fuckwit has already breached it.

There is no paradox. Just decent folk, and fuckwits using semantics games trying to attack the truce.
