Paradox of tolerance

We aren't, Tankies are. That's what the comment says.

Now that makes sense

I'm sure I'm not the only who read the patent comment as a comment directed at us rather than tankies

This isn't intended to be antagonistic, even though I know it seems that way in text, but do you have any links to examples of tankies defending nazis? I'm just curious to see it.

If anything, on hexbear as an example, I see them claiming most everyone they don't like is/is friends with nazis. They seem to use hatred of nazis as an excuse for supporting some really fucked up shit.

No, Tankies don't defend Nazis. Tankies depend on everyone just blindly accepting a wrong definition of free speech.
Tankies claim censorship whenever someone critizises them just like nazis and altrights do.

While this is not directly defending nazis, this is trying to make tolerance of intolerance to be universally accepted and thus helps nazis to also use intolerance freely because silencing harmful speech will be seen as "censorship"
