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.

I think the idea is to have a small government of one dictator who tells everyone else what to do.
By this logic the perfect government is where everyone votes on everything.
Which sounds nice until you realize we’re dealing with humans who are dumb.
Dumb is better than malevolent.
Well they’re dumb and malevolent so it’s a minor improvement.
Disagree. The malevolent will simply convince the dumb to vote for them.
Case and point 💁♂️
As if the people ruling over us aren't also dumb.
Yes they are also humans.
I mean, that's basically Switzerland (more or less). Apparently it CAN work, though the question is whether it can work at scale (Switzerland is approx. the size of Maryland).
