    You should look into the paradox of tolerance.

    The paradox of tolerance states that if a society’s practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them.

      The paradox disappears when you stop considering tolerance to be a moral stance, and recognize it as a social contract.

      Those who break the contractual agreements are not protected by contract’s provisions.
