Copying this from my reply downthread, because respectfully, I disagree that intolerant speech must by necessity be met with censorship or violence:
There’s a sentence in the paradox of tolerance that is universally fucking ignored.
That’s from the original author, Karl Popper, in the piece in which he originally defined it.
I’ll openly accept that in many situations, we’re past the point where things can be reasonably kept in check by rational argument and public opinion. But that is what we should be reaching for, not the normalization of this constant state of rage we all seem to be heading towards.
