EDIT: no, I don't sympathize with nazis (neither I sympathize with those who call everyone nazi when they're losing an argument ;)

No offense but this is kind of what happens in real life too. Nazi shows up to local bar. Barman or owner doesn't throw them out. Eventually they invite their friends. It winds up being known a Nazi bar. People who don't want to associate with Nazis no longer visit the bar. This is why intolerance of the intolerant is a thing.

The paradox of tolerance.

Tolerance must tolerate all but intolerance of tolerance

Tolerance is a social contract.

If you refuse to be bound by it, then you are a direct threat to the contract, and those who follow it, and should be treated as such.

Funny thing is, the Nazis would use those same guilty by association tactics to silence and crush dissent.

Yeah, but the difference is that the nazis wouldn't be right or even honest, unlike the ones who oppose bigotry and genocide. You can't tolerate intolerance to death.
