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.

MODERATORS
i (self awarely) disagree
There's nothing to disagree with
The problem tolerating intolerance is it only works if the intolerants, in turn, also let you express yourself after they gain power, which they won't, because they are intolerant. You need to be lucky every time and they only need to be lucky once. And the only thing preventing the disaster is that there isn't an infinite amount of time ahead of you
The slippery slope fallacy is when you don't detail what would make the slope even slippery in the first place
honest to fuck why can't we have the future where the last panel isn't someone being dragged away by nazi fascists OR some kinda tankie government
and im a fuckin commie saying this...
silence a bigot and he'll take to the streets. give a bigot an echo chamber and with any luck he'll do more online circlejerking than IRL marching, at least
tankies are just red fascist, literally have nothing in common with communist ideology other than a vague esthetic
Actually studies have found that deplatforming works really well at combating hate speech. Online it can radicalize people. IRL at least they learn very quickly that there is no silent majority at their back.
