- 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.

In cities, economies actually exist. In cities, society is just a reflection of human nature and has fuck-all to do with government.
That's way too generalized of a statement, even though I get what you mean. Things like infrastructure and mobility for example play a major part in how a city feels and develops. Tokyo, Amsterdam and Detroit are all cities but couldn't be more different in nature, which in turn also shapes society and economy.
To think cities cause humans to just be themselves is as foolish as the foolishness your post was an answer to.
That's not what I said. I said they bring out human nature. Which is a reaction to this idea that people in cities have bad manners or are somehow worse people. All my rural friends and family who didn't leave think cities are horrible and likely think like the person I responded to.
And yes cities are not all the same but my point is that they exist because there are enough people to have an actual economy. Walk down main street and any small town America and you'll see the stark difference I'm trying to point out. No money in those places at all. Extreme poverty running rampant. Half of businesses shuttered.
