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.

Then everything is going according to their plan.
If we never fight back, they can keep doing as they please with no resistance.
"The revolution will be bloodless if the left allows it".
The problem is, they're already doing it right now and we don't even have a rebellion to show for it.
If I'm going to get gunned down in the streets, I want to have earned it.
Those protests did nothing but reinforce the alt-right’s understanding of how weak the opposition is.
The No Kings “protests” were easily ignored and inconvenienced nobody. Would have been weak for even GWB-era opposition.
You’re doing nothing. And everyone’s watching you.
Save your:
You are a coward
Peaceful protests work best when non-peaceful resistance exists.
MLK needed Malcom X and a handful of people willing to sacrifice their lives.
No social change in history occurred without bloodshed. Morally it is wrong to kill in all cases except self-defense. And people who feel their lives/rights are in danger will act in “self-defense”
Absolutely.
Northern Irish Civil Rights movement had the IRA. Women's Suffrage had the Suffregetes
All of these movements allowed the peaceful side to present the same terms:
'You deal with me or you deal with the other guy.'
RFK wants to send me to a wellness farm. Also, the black dude down the street, just because.
I think the choice to conflict has been made for me, and I should get ready to fight. That means training, and joining up with whoever else who wants to die on their home's soil. I am not going to El Salvador.
I'm not saying that at all, I'm just trying to say don't discourage people from doing it again or more often
but we do absolutely need to do more
Yeah. If they come for me I'm gonna make sure that they're not the only ones bringing guns to the fight. That doesn't mean I'll do any damage to them, but I'm screwed either way.
If enough people do that, enough of us will get lucky shots in before we get dropped. We have the numbers on our side.
You get it
Kill one fascist no one bats an eye Kill a thousand fascists, you might get a smirk Kill the right fascist? Now you're doing something.
