On a long enough timeline, the activists may become as intolerant as the people who they have protested.
I think that's a quote by Groucho Marx.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
... if a society is tolerant without limit, their ability to be tolerant will eventually be seized or destroyed by the intolerant.... in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.
