Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The protests against the Iraq war were massive and yet completely ignored in favour of lies, millions of pointless deaths, and a fuck ton of very profitable resources to extract.
The Iraq war protests happened when I was a young teen and it broke my belief in the power of showing up and protesting being able to change anything.
Corruption isn't swayed by protests, only by money. If you can't buy government backing for your cause, it's dead in the water. Protesting against corruption is just going to get you arrested and/or put on a list of dissidents.
