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.

I have no idea how this narrative that it's the immigrants that are the problem, so we throw them all out, is working on people. I don't know how the idea of putting them in off-shore prisons without trials is working with people. The entire idea is costly and completely fucked. That karma is coming back on all of us.
The only thought process I have seen is that “The rules are that you have to follow the process. You can’t just come here for economic opportunity without getting permission. Every country works this way.”
There’s no thought process behind what actual harm is caused. It’s a mental centering on Rules. They refuse to dive behind why they respect those rules, and why they’re okay ignoring those rules for Europeans, because the answer is just Racism.
Yet these same people expect to be let off with a warning when stopped for speeding. Rules for me, not for thee.
Racism. You know the thing that the US was founded on.
Creating in groups and outgroups.
why fix real problems you are profiting from if you can blame an innocent powerless minority.
worst that'll happen is you eradicate them, but then you just gotta point the blame to the next minority.
Is true throughout history. Hard times? Blame the immigrants!
Our death and misery machine was working just fine! Until, you people showed up.
