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.

Well, let's take the least controversial example from the comic: people "fighting against" destruction of the environment who are in fact fighting for it. Anti-littering, carbon footprint, personal responsibility focused environmentalism is known to have origins in corporate propaganda campaigns to draw focus away from their own role in the problem.

My objection to the message of the comic is, sometimes "what if these people portraying themselves as fighting against X are really supporters of X" is the truth and what needs to be said, rather than just someone being a contrarian smartass. Always ignoring and silencing this sort of sentiment without considering it makes you more vulnerable to manipulation.
