However, fighting everyday acts of racism, misogyny, etc... or support of it, no matter the level and visibility of the one doing it, will slowly move these ideas where they belong : in the trash. And when there is no longer people listening those ideas, the fight is "won".
Yes, but I believe there's also a need for proportionality. If someone disagrees with you and doesn't think they've done anything wrong, they're more likely to be persuaded by a proportionate response than a (perceived) overreaction.

I agree but, at one point, if proportionate responses doesn't work, there will be a need to up it, or either let the contestation die and those ideas thrive... it may be controversial, but I think the "paradox of tolerance" is real, and a looming danger nowadays.

The Paradox of Tolerance is an interesting observation. I think it's too often stated without qualifications, and it's a very difficult question to answer how real it is, but worthy of discussion, as long as there's disagreement on it.
