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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Because one of them wants to eliminate a class of people. The other just doesn’t want to be around the people who want to eliminate a class of people. They just want to be left to their devices.
They don't think like that. You can't fight radicalization with radicalization.
"They don't think like that. You can't keep claiming 2+2=4 and that the clear sky is blue; you have to meet their hateful delusions halfway!"
No. Your argument is deranged, dishonest nonsense.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't protect trans rights or anything like that. I'm just saying that dehumanizing around 30% of the country is a bad idea and is completely counterproductive.
As another reply said, they're dehumanizing themselves. Disagreeing on policy is one thing, but when one side is burning books and closing research labs and treating a charlatan's blatant lies as the Gospel truth because their worldview is fundamentally incompatible with factual reality, there's no reasoning with that. Debate doesn't fucking work at that point; you need a cult deprogramming!
