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.

The exact intended goal
There's like, a goddamn tidal-wave of shills and instigators coming out of the woodwork right now, Lemmy is no exception.
Some people just want to watch the world burn and don't actually want good outcomes.
Yeah. Pretty weird in this case because this angle has been pushed for a few weeks and I've not seen it go uncontested yet, but it keeps cropping up. As if to say "what's important is not where we are, but how racist everyone besides me was on the way here". Which is just dumb. No one is denying racism is part of it. But it's just brainless to think they can get away with this messaging and totally dodge the glaring fact that these recent killings are on fucking video. As if there could ever be a world where video doesn't hit human beings harder than depressing news headlines. That's clearly most of why these killings are getting such a reaction. Throughout the history of video that has made a difference. It's even responsible for decreasing racism. Like with the Rodney King beating video.
