> It might be worth considering The Paradox of Tolerance

Or the slippery slope fallacy, as it is known in less ideological circles. The "paradox" simply asserts that a tolerant society will be usurped by intolerant actors. It is in all respects a slippery slope argument.

Remember that "fallacy" means "argument form not guaranteed to produce true results given true inputs."

Outside the context of rigorous mathematical proofs, many fallacies are legitimate, helpful tools.
