Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

No hut the DNC definitely is for sabotaging sanders and his supporters to ensure the neo liberal class dictatorship could continue and prevent any platform movement to the left that might vaguely resemble a new FDR presidency

And you are sabotaging yourself by letting a whole different party create a set of bigger problems because you're focused on things that don't matter right now.

[–] exploitedamerican@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Neo liberals are sabotaging themselves and everyone else by blaming voters for not getting behind tepid astro turfed right leaning centrist corporatism.

You all need to wake up and realize our presidential elections are likely just as compromised by money as the rest of our political system. There are 14 traits of fascism and both parties blatantly exhibit 13 of those traits with fraudulent elections being the only trait they can claim the corruption of is plausible deniable. All you thinking that the ideals of democracy haven't been corrupted to the same point everything else has because of hurrrr durrrr democracy and “murican eyedeeeuhhhlissum” are living in an idealistic delusion. The system has proven it will not be remedied through its own mechanisms and that those with power have subverted those very mechanisms to prevent any meaningful change which means the only way forward is revolution.

Neo liberal western democracy vehemently opposes economic democracy and any movement to the left. This makes it completely undemocratic and an ultimate defacto class dictatorship. But cleverly disguised pr masquerading as unbiased journalism owned by wall street military and prison industry profiteering billionaires have convinced you the house isn’t actively burning when it obviously is.

Why do you keep perpetuating this lie. They did not sabotage him; he is/was unpopular. Get over it.

[–] exploitedamerican@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Lmao. Thats the dumbest nonsense i have ever heard. Did you even read the DNC leaks or did you just ignore them because the neoliberal wall street puppets who’s lies you believe convinced you it was russian propaganda? 🤣 sanders consistently sold out massive arenas and is now campaigning against this fascist garbage administration and drawinng massive crowds in predominantly red maga loving counties.

In the iowa caucus sanders supporters outnumbered Clinton supporters 2 to 1 but the delegates were stolen and handed to clinton. In 2020 sanders was winning race after race then suddenly all the other candidates besides biden dropped out and all of a sudden the lame brained neo liberal Alzheimers patient Reaganite drug war supporter suddenly was winning.

I bet you believe the (un)democratic party is a left wing party when by the standards of the rest of the developed world they are a right leaning political party? There is no left party in the usa and both the dnc and rnc are funded by the same wall street military and prison industry profiteers.

The usa has exhibited 13 of 14 defining characteristics of fascism in both parties since before the reagan years. The only one of those 14 traits that those in power can claim plausible deniability in regards to is fraudulent elections. But it is illogical and dumb to believe that those in power who have allowed money corruption and cronyism to influence every other aspect of our political system would stop short at 93.93% of the way. In Germany their highest court has deemed electronic voting unconstitutional since it is impossible to differentiate between fraudulent results and legitimate ones for anyone who isnt a cyber security/ IT expert. But go ahead and naively believe in the sanctity of democracy and the ideals of “murican freedom and idealism in a nation where we spend more on imperialist warfare for profit and perpetuating a militarized police state on a racist war on drugs than we do ensuring the well being of the most vulnerable and marginalized citizens in our society.

Sanders was the strong candidate but the dnc lied and colluded with the corporate legacy news outlets owned by their donors to manipulate and manufacture the consent of the people and fed hs the lie that he would never win when he was the only candidate that could have defeated trump in a fair election. But since kennedy’s assassination the system has been organized to prevent any candidate from gaining power who would resemble FDR in any way whatsoever and do anything to undo the 5+ decades of awful conservative and neo liberal policies that have fleeced the working class and poor and turned the majority of Americans into low paid wage slaves conditioned to never critically examine their place in life and just keep on working for peanuts while rents continue to increase and wages perpetually stagnate to the point where over 50% of millennials will never own a home or have a retirement. But the democratic party wont even make this reality a part of their campaign platform because all that matters to them is appealing to the billionaire war lords who own them. But i guess as long as their boots and lies are palatable for you to swallow, bon appétit!
