Social media. Cartoon for Trouw.

Cartoon showing people swimming in several swimming pools, one filled with likes, another filled with angry emojis and another filled with hearts and LOL emojis. A sign at the entrance to the pool shows the Meta and X logo with the text 'Free entry'. Below the pools is a system of pipes and machinery. Two big pipes are labeled 'Profit' and 'Data extraction', while a machine shows gauges labeled 'misinformation' and 'polarization' that are going into the red. A screen shows a graph labeled 'democracy' that is sharply declining. Musk and Zuckerberg are operating the machinery.

I updated the Paradox of Tolerance.

A 2025 updated cartoon from the Paradox of Tolerance by Karl Popper.

In the first frame you see two antifascists who dismiss a Nazi (this time wearing a MAGA hat). The MAGA Nazi says "You want more tolerance? Respect my ideas!". At the left the question "Should as tolerant society tolerate intolerance?" and at the right "The answer is NO."

Between de first and second frame the text "It's a paradox, but unlimited tolerance can lead to the extinction of tolerance."

In the second frame you see Donald Trump (was first Hitler) with Nazi attributes. At the right you see Elon Musk giving a Nazi salute on a podium. At the left you see Mark Zuckerberg saying "Let's give them a chance!" Above those figures the text "When we extend tolerance to those are openly intolerant … the tolerant ones end up being destroyed. And tolerance with them."

In the third and final frame Trump (in the original cartoon Hitler) is kicked-out. With above the text "Any movement that preaches intolerance and persecution must be outside of the law." At the right we see Karl Popper saying "As paradoxical as it may seem, defending tolerance … requires to not tolerate the intolerant."

At the bottom the text "Source: The Open Society and its Enemies. Karl R. Popper" and "pictoline.com".

Meme about Meta users looking full of wonder to the fediverse. Meta (Facebook, Threads, Instagram) doesn't look amused, but the fediverse (with Mastodon, Peertube, Pixelfed, etc) looks very happy and confident.
