"The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly paradoxical idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance."

The real paradox is this idea once it justifies both sides and advocates a perennial dispute.

The answer to the question 'Who are the intolerants?' is by definition biased.

Tolerance is not a terribly subjective concept.

The paradox of tolerance has been debunked many many times and is a kids level attempt of trying to dissuade any “intolerant” views

Maybe, I don't know anything about it, but let's engage with curiosity and evidence here rather than simply referring to a point as "kids level"
