The intolerance of others is a core part of the fascist playbook.

I didn't say it wasn't.
Creating a false equivalency between intolerance of the intolerant and intolerance of others / other groups is a key rhetorical device for fascists.

Even if you've walked to this position through "logic" and a concept of perfectly spherical human beings [0], with no steps through fascism, you should be aware of how this position is used by fascists to give themselves a veneer of rationality while painting their opponents as irrational.

I didn't create a false equivalence.
Ok this time I'll put as much effort into my reply as you did:

Yes you did.

They actually didn't and I don't know why you think they did.
