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 don’t understand this argument. Engels (& by extension Marx), Lenin, Fidel Castro, Mao Zedong of the ones I know of, all were part of the bourgeoisie. They could have just chosen to rest on their unearned laurels but instead chose to leave all that behind to try to uplift the working class, to varying degrees of success. Surely that deserves some merit?
All known philosophers past present and future came from or lived in bubbles of privilege. Working class people don’t have the time or mental energy to philosophize and present our thoughts to hordes of people, we are too busy working.
This isn't really new, when I was young a lot of kids wanted to be a pro footballer or singer.
Yes, but that actually requires working on a skill, which is a valuable lesson for kids.
Being a douche live on a phone doesn't.
When you hate certain people online but want to wrap that hate in some kind of societal prescription as if we haven't had wealthy celebrities talking about social issues and infecting kids with brainrot since media began. Gen Alpha is going to be like every previous generation with their own sets of challenges and abilities.
If you want the influencers to go away, you have to stop baiting people to argue about them, just let them be.
My 35-year old sister thinks being an influencer is a job I should pursue with my Film & TV degree...
