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.

this doesn't say anything
It is about arguing culture.
No it's not!
That's not an argument, it's just contradiction
No it isn't
If that's from monty python then you are right. Marvelous piece.
(yes to all three, actually)
I see what you did there
We've been over this already.
Oh yeah? Where is your proof?
Oh man there was an entire south park episode about this...
Even triggering arguments to build up hype on socials. Can't find the episode, but it mentioned arguing or disagreeing with someone while aiming for a 3rd person to jump in overreacting and it spreads.
Edit: found it
Season 20 finale, 2010, featuring Elon musk...

what about it?
This curiously says a lot about our current social sphere.
like what
Like it's all just a ego contest and in the end it doesn't really matter who's right and who's wrong, in the end all that matters is that one or the other will get enough social pressure to make the other one shut up.
In this day and age, people argue over everything from the most basic stuff all the way to the most ridiculous stuff
is that in the comic though or are you projecting your existing opinion on the vague topic of online arguments? does the comic say all arguments are bad? I is discussing the offensiveness of a joke bad? is it bad when to many people argue at once?
doesn't seem like there's much of anything deeper than "what's the deal with airline food?" type material that expects the audience to make the statement in their mind than actually saying anything itself.
It's in the comic, when viewed from a particular context. All meaning is relative to the context in which it is created, and in which it is perceived.
For what it's worth, I interpreted the comment similarly to the person you're replying to.
