On being peaceful.

A part of keeping "peace" means stopping violence. Nazism is an inherently violent ideology. Organizing under Nazi ideology is an act of preparation for mass violence. Stopping Nazi's is done in the name of peace. Sometimes when people are violent, you have to use violence to stop them, in the name of peace. Just like we did in World War 2. If you don't want to face violence, do not wield violence. If you want to claim nonviolence, do not advocate an ideology that is inherently violent

On being tolerant.

There is no paradox of tolerance in the first place.

The paradox is resolved by treating tolerance not as a moral precept (something that is done because doing otherwise makes you a bad person, something that must always be done) but as a contract or treaty (something that is reciprocal, the benefits of which you are not obligated to afford to those who do not reciprocally offer those same benefits to you and others in return.) Treaties/contracts come with restrictions which signatories are obligated to follow, and benefits those signatories receive in return.

Those who refuse to tolerate others who are not impeding anyones rights are not entitled to our tolerance.

NASA's Chandra Diagnoses Cause of Fracture in Galactic "Bone"

The researchers think the pulsar likely caused the fracture by smashing into G359.13 at a speed between one million and two million miles per hour. This collision distorted the magnetic field in the bone, causing the radio signal to also become warped.
