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.

Far too often people forget that Right to Free Speech is not your first right, and it is superseded by other human rights above it.

Your right to Free Speech only applies as long as it doesn't interfere with other people's rights to safety and freedom from prejudice, hate, harm, etc...

It's not that complicated and yet countless people always fuck something so straightforward up.

It begins with free speech, then you skip a few years and suddenly trans kids are scared for their lives. Speech affects people and has consequence, it is not something to take lightly.

The poor mod definitely needs an AI to help with moderation.

honest to fuck why can't we have the future where the last panel isn't someone being dragged away by nazi fascists OR some kinda tankie government

and im a fuckin commie saying this...

silence a bigot and he'll take to the streets. give a bigot an echo chamber and with any luck he'll do more online circlejerking than IRL marching, at least

Actually studies have found that deplatforming works really well at combating hate speech. Online it can radicalize people. IRL at least they learn very quickly that there is no silent majority at their back.

tankies are just red fascist, literally have nothing in common with communist ideology other than a vague esthetic

the tolerance paradox

If everyone is tolerant of every idea, then intolerant ideas will emerge. Tolerant people will tolerate this intolerance, and the intolerant people will not tolerate the tolerant people.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The solution is that it's a social contract. I agree to tolerate your weirdness and quirks. You agree to do the same to myself and others.

By being intolerant (without a good reason), they break the social contract. Therefore they are no longer protected by it either.

I had almost forgotten how much I hate political "comics".

Someday the meat eaters will realize this applies to animal oppressors as well, but not this day.
