Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. πŸ˜‡ Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. πŸ“½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. πŸ“‹ Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      βœ… Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. πŸ“¬ Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 πŸ–) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 πŸ–) will be removed.
  7. πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      SΓ­, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.

Oh lord, you sound like MAGA. Here's a hint, you can't be fascist and be a left wing person. Fascism is a far right wing ideology. Love me, love me, I'm a liberal!

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world -4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wow, first I am a Neo Lib and now I am a Maga. Good thing I can consistently call you the fascist that you are.

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Tell me you're entirely uneducated about political positioning and ideologies without telling me.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world -4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Says the guy wildly throwing around political terms.

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Still won't tell me why fascists want an unarmed population, especially of the easily marginalized. Still thinks communal defense is blood lust. Calls an avowed socialist a fascist, doesn't seem to understand what it really means. It's just a sad state of affairs how utterly uninformed you are. I'm no expert but I at least look up information so I'm not as ignorant. Instead you seem to revel in it.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world -3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Listen, there are more guns in the US than people. It hasn't solved our problems. People that think guns solve problems are the definition of fascists. Guns are an oppressive force and fascist recognize this. That is why they make sure to always have them.

Yes, you are no expert. You don't even have a basic grasp of what is fascism let alone that you are a fascist. You throw around terms wildly without understanding them. You push dangerous rhetoric that will get more people killed. I am struggling to see you in a positive light

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

And I don't see you in one at all. Because you're advocating for marginalized people to be utterly defenseless in the face of their oppression. Their lives are actively in danger from if not government than individuals. You seem to think I'm saying to go shoot someone now, I advocate communal defense. Not everyone needs to be armed but enough need to be. There's organizations that take in disowned trans teens to give them the care and support they need. They have LITERALLY had to drive off people against them that are armed with their own armaments.

As for fascism, Marx himself says under no pretext. That an unarmed work force is an easily oppressed one. Thank you for playing, buh bye.

Edit: An oh, to back myself up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenacious_Unicorn_Ranch#Harassment_and_threats_against_the_ranch
Their lives are in literal danger and you're telling them nah, too much gun violence when they receive disproportionate amounts of gun violence.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world -3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

This is complete hogwash, people are getting killed everyday and they are not Trans. The solution is not arming people, that is fascism speaking. The fact that you can't recognize this shows your inability to see beyond guns solving your problems.

You are a dangerous fascist that professes harmful ideology that will get people killed.

I could give a shit about what Marx said. I am not going to listen to people profess oppression under the guise of protection.

I can provide numerous sources showing why guns don't solve problems. You didn't back up shit.

[–] gallopingsnail@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Calling a Marxist a fascist is certainly one of the takes of all time.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Apparently your reading comprehension is about zero. I could give a shit about what Marx said does not mean he is fascist, that is you kiddo.

Let's just pretend that you have a point. If guns solve our problems why in a country with more guns than people do we have oppression at all? Oh wait, guns are the oppressive force.

If guns solved fascism there would be no fascism, instead the entire world is armed and fascist as hell. And now we are saying we need more guns to even it up!? You have got to be fucking kidding.

[–] gallopingsnail@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Apparently you forgot about the second world war, where a shitload of guns and bombs (millions of which were wielded by supporters of Marx's ideology) literally stopped fascists. I'm not gonna sit here and argue with a dumbass lib that doesn't understand the difference between leftism and fascism, but it certainly has been entertaining watching you get downvoted to shit in this thread.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world -2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Wow, just wow. Clearly you have no grasp on actual history. The fascists were never defeated in WWII as the US has always been the biggest and most powerful fascist nation.

The Nazi modeled their final solution on the Native American Genocide. Ford and other industrialists helped bankroll the Nazi Empire. IBM developed the numbering system for Jews and then figured out how many Jews could be killed each day so there was not a backup of trains leading to the death camps.

Edit: I will take every down vote from gun apologists that are desperately trying to get more people killed. If you think popularity is an indication of correctness I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

[–] gallopingsnail@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Sure, all of that stuff about the US is true, and it is a fascist nation, except when we decided there were bigger, more important fascists to deal with. Doesn't change the fact that you're still a dumbass lib that doesn't know shit about leftism. I could sit here and troll your ass all day.

Wish I could see the down votes for them, I only see favorites.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You couldn't troll a kindergartener. You are an ignorant campist.

[–] gallopingsnail@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

You keep replying though, seem pretty mad too. Lol at "ignorant campist" too.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Damn straight I am mad about idiots trying to push guns. I have lost several people to gun violence in my life. You are just a self admitted shit troll.

Well, sorry about that, but the proletariat should be armed.
