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.

Better late than never, we can hold ppl accountable for inaction AFTER we beat the system
If you don't address the inaction, you won't beat the system. "We can address all the systemic issues in our movement after our movement succeeds" has borne out in history approximately 0 times. More often either the movement fails entirely or it's coopted by its most conservative elements who turn it into something completely different.
If action is your goal, then when you see action, you support it. Address the inaction of those who are not acting, and support those who are. Bitching about the way it was is not helpful.
No part of what you said addresses my point, so I'll repeat myself: Resistance movements have to worry about being coopted from the inside almost as much as they do about being crushed from the outside. Introspection and self-awareness are crucial if this movement is going to survive. Internal conflict is often rightly cited as a danger to any movement, but it's also a survival mechanism that shouldn't be shut down out of hand.
