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.

And that little girl will be propagandized through the media the oligarchs own and the curriculum they inform through captured governments to believe that "the benevolent freeeeeee market will cure all ills" for her entire childhood.
In order to see the wood for the trees, one has to at some point genuinely consider and reject that programming, and that isn't the norm. That's why they get us young with the "market capitalism is the only way" dogma, little to no resistance, somewhere around the time they show us that social studies cartoon drawing of the pilgrims and native Americans enjoying a sitcom Thanksgiving dinner together.
That's why for every climate activist, there's a dozen self hating temporarily embarrassed millionaire class traitors telling them they don't understand reality. Reality of course being the private profit friendly narrative that was programmed into them, that they accepted as absolute truth because most children accept what they're told.
Man I wish philosophy, critical thinking, and reasoning was taught from grade school and not college. But that would be against the interests of the shareholders, wouldn't it?
Stay angry, little cartoon girl, it's your only hope.
Or it’s Greta Thunberg and she’s already made a difference.
I assumed it was the GT yeah
We're screwed because for every Greta Thunberg, there's a dozen millionaires and billionaires with war chests full of cash that are willing to pay other gullible people to believe that all the money should flow to the smallest group of people at the expense of humanity, decency, good will or the long term viability of the human species on this planet.
