To your point OP, Hunter by the same author is still up, as is Siege. I think TD was a little too popular and caught flak for the whole genre.

It just doesn't allow for the low effort gotcha attempt by right wingers. Tolerance of intolerance isn't true tolerance, it's complacency to intolerance and the harm of others. It's a superior principle.

Leftards don't know what the word "paradox" means.

Saying "we're pro-free speech but need to ban books we don't like" is not a "paradox". It is shameless hypocrisy.

You're all going to make fun of me for saying that I didn't like the part where they systematically slaughtered their way through every last person they didn't like, up to requiring any white person who wanted to live in their new society in to bring them the severed head of a non-white, aren't you?
Why the fuck are people so fucking insane and bloodthirsty nowadays. Why can't people be fucking normal. Fuck me. Fuck!

This is especially funny these days when the left is busy downplaying literal terrorism. They march alongside people calling for the genocide of jews, spouting
slogans they claim mean state freedom but in arabic means “palestine will be arab” (eg ethnic cleansing).

All that talk about “if you march with nazis you are a nazi”, “punch nazis”, “ontological evil”, all utter bullshit. Turns out antisemitism and genocide is just fine because did you know Israel is evil? It’s the same shit Putin pulls calling the Ukraine war a “denazification” issue. Call the jews nazis and hey presto now your Hitler rhetoric is AKCHULLY leftist! Allahu akbar! It’s a miracle.

To be clear I don’t really give a shit about kikes or sandniggers, it’s just hilarious how there are no principles involved whatsoever. Who’s a nazi is entirely arbitrary and just means “you’re bad so I can do whatever I want to you”, which was supposedly the problem with nazi rhetoric. It’s all so tiresome.

Not what the Paradox of Tolerance says. Seriously, you'd think one of you weirdos would bother to actually read Open Society and it's Enemies instead of treating a webcomic infographic as fact.
