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.

Yup. Post-COVID, the rich were scared by the newly empowered worker who had just finally begun to understand their worth and power, and have declared war on the working class in retaliation. There's plenty of evidence for this by now; the pattern is obvious.
So real talk time, what are doing about it?
Why aren't the remaining workers walking out in protest? Why aren't sympathetic industries and collectives talking to all of these recently released labor force members and collectively organizing marches and strikes, encouraging workers to refuse to do labor until executives take massive paycuts?
What do we have to do, and why aren't we doing it?
And if you are somebody out there doing it, what do people like me have to do to get involved?
Yes! My thoughts exactly!
During the pandemic when this was all happening, it was a bright spot of optimism that things could finally begin to get better as people realized how much nonsense wasn't necessary.
But the propaganda machines were in full force pushing fabricated tales of people who "missed the energy of the office", and everything was about "getting back to normal" instead of making a new, better normal!
Heck I even saw edgy righties on places like iFunny getting all based saying "I can't believe we're being exploited like this! Jobs are such a scam."
It was beautiful.
Where did it go?! Why do we so easily forget??
