Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:

- 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.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.

I too would like that TACO to go
Weirdly enough, already a book:
Nice to see this one full-sized in my feed. Most of the rest of these Hypocra Sea comics only appear in a small window, and need to be clicked to get taken to the OP site, which is less than desirable for me.
Are they... Are they holding those signs with their gills?
They have flippers on both sides of their body, unless they both have Nemoesque asymmetrical disabilities.
Like Nemo?
He has a small lucky fin on one side :)
Thats because protesting and voting doesn't do shit
If you want to actually root out fascism, then the only path you have is 🔫
Fuck BlueMAGA
Unsure why you're getting downvoted: that's literally the thesis of the comic.
It might be the thesis, but it definitely raises discussions on why some protests work and others don't. It's true that a one and done protest is easy to ignore. That doesn't mean all protests are ineffective.
Historically, protests were effective when they were the signal that people were unhappy, and that if something didn't change, people would take further action.
So I'm order for protests to be more effective:
- they need better organization and consolidation instead of being distributed
- they need a clear set of actionable demands, so that protestors know when they need to ratchet up to the next level of escalation
- they need to have agreed upon levels of escalation that will be followed by those attending the protest. That could include general strikes, focussed boycotts, focussed civil disobedience, etc.
Simplifying it down to "🔫 or nothing" is just as silly as the octopus protest, in that people need to find the right set of actions for each situation.
As for the US specifically, I don't see what an immediate armed revolution would accomplish.
Comrade, we are both black anarchists.
