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.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

There are 2 types of people. Those who engage with politics and use it to bend the world to their will. And those who are ignorant of politics who get taken advantage of by those who are engaged.

Well no, there's clearly a third group who is compulsively obsessed with consuming and repeating political memes in a way that isn't actually giving them any power or agency.

We call that third group Lemmings.

Those who engage with politics and use it to bend the world to their will.

So... billionaires, and the rest of us?

and the rest of us?

Either make the waves, ride the waves, be part of the wave, or try to walk against the wave.

We all want to be the makers but the majority of us won't be. Try to ride the waves.

There are two types of people. Those who talk about politics. And those who don't want to talk to people who see everything in black and white.

There are two types of people. Those that can extrapolate from incomplete data

I love how you've set up a false dichotomy to complain about lack of nuance.

To say everything is in a grey area ignores the grey area of that statement itself where some things must be black and white.

Its like whats the exception to the rule that every rule has an exception.
