The issue here is 'being intolerant of intolerance' requires you to decide what is and isn't intolerant.

Let's take affirmative action for example. Giving people whose grandparents were negatively impacted by unjust laws more opportunities than other people.

Opposing this is not 'intolerance', it's an opinion in a debate about whether that is actually fair. It's an active debate and one side is trying to shut down opposition to their political goals and force their kids to say they're right

Trying to close all debate and push a narrative isn't democratic, it's authoritarian and one of the most common tools to oppress and control
