I believe this is an example of a "straw man" argument.

First you mischaracterize OP's claim -- basically "tolerance of the intolerant leads to the intolerant gaining power and not being tolerant" becomes "murder all who disagree". Then you use sarcasm to knock down the straw man you built (because of course murdering all who disagree is bad).

It's more a criticism of the rampant idea I see floating around on Lemmy that people that hold harmful political views should be executed. What does "intolerance" look like?
