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.

Not caring about politics is a privilege of the powerful. All this shows is that you are lucky enough to be in control of your own life. Congratulations! Me too! No one is actively working to hurt me either.
I care about politics because not everyone is able to have that privilege, and they should.
And you are fully free to exercise that privilege, just don't shove it in my face and make it your life's mission to make this guy care about it as much as you do.
I had friends who told me they didn't vote, and you know what I said? " Ah okay whatever"
And this concept fucking baffles people
"Don't come whining to me when they're putting your neighbors in boxcars and sending them off to the camps because it's not like there's a reason for me to give a shit."
Well you better get off your ass and vote then huh?
Sorry, is there an election going on right now and no one told me?
No lmao I'm just saying there's the whole paradox that I have issue with, everyone who gets uppity about people not voting always spend more time arguing that they should vote than voting themselves.
I've made my stance clear, I just don't want to, so no use arguing with me about It, but time and time again that's how it goes
Well yeah. Exactly how long do you think it takes someone to vote?
So I shouldn't tell other people what to do, but it's ok for you to tell me what to do?
Sometimes it's ok to read your post before hitting send.
