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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Maybe a cultural compulsion of misremembering and publically honoring the dead unconditionally isnt always good for society.
Yeah, I'll take my bans now.
Did you read it? It wasn't a "cultural compulsion". It was a deliberate campaign to turn the memory of him into a complete fabrication and a fascist tool.
And why did that propaganda campaign work? What did it operate on?
People like heroes, alive or dead. Them being dead is just beneficial to those rewriting their history.
Useful because of how we treat the dead and their memory.
Useful because they can't argue, disprove, or otherwise disrupt the use of their person as a "perfect" hero of the movement.
Okay, yeah, the culture it starts in is never culpable for any vulnerabilities it may or may not have to Nazism.
There was nothing we could've done and there's nothing we can do except pure violence. No preventative measures for next time. It could have been no other way.
Outrage, divisive politics, creating an enemy strawman...
Human nature?
This is about propaganda, not culture.
Why would anyone ban you for that? It's not an unpopular opinion or mean.
