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.

House them AND guarantee they'll never get out of the system.
What if we commoditized the homeless as a profit center for government contractors?
But then we complained about how much this was costing the public sector, so we privatized the entire state bureaucracy and billed it out of the public coffers as "National Security"?
And then if you complained about the horrifying abuse of civil liberties, we labeled you an enemy of the state and threw you in jail as well?
I can't think of anything more AnCap than this.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic but an ancap would only agree with half of this. The difference is instead of the government oppressing you it'd be google or something
Peter Thiel is an AnCap, though.
But there are "for-profit prisons," I personally am not sure how that functions, but also the inmates are required to have a job in the prison earning just a few insulting pennies per day, becoming useful to society making license plates or whatever the heck labor they make prisoners do.
The profit is they steal your tax dollars in exchange for making you feel better about crime by satisfying your bloodlust and desire for revenge even though they demonstrably worsen the situation
Besides the slavery, government also pays them to keep people in prison. Then they can use all that money to lobby for things like weed being illegal so more people go to jail, more immigrant harassment, etc
They turn a profit by contracting their services out to governments and businesses
