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.

"you are free"
...to die elsewhere if you can't afford to live here.
The next part of that lie is the fallacy that we have some kind of intrinsic "freedom of speech."
People think our "freedom" gives us a view into the rest of the world and how it's still the best thing in the world to live in the USA.
All you have to do is open your web browser in the airport of another country. We have a sliver of perspective here, we don't get to see what challenges other countries have overcome, from healthcare to housing the homeless to giving people actual freedoms by giving them peace of mind about their future.
If nothing else, you get to see how much the rest of the world really hates the US government and would be happy if we stopped building bases and blacksites in their countries.
Tbf, i also hate the us government and would appreciate if they stopped having military bases or black sites... Anywhere?
