I'm so numb to the threat of a population crash after decades of accepting that I'll likely die as a direct cause of climate change and/or nuclear annihilation and/or global pandemic and/or cancer from one of the many poisons we're pumping into our environment. I couldn't care less about population crash. They do everything they can to ruin the world for everybody but the elite, I'm sure as hell not bringing anybody into it so they can labor for these assholes.
Comic Strips
Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

I have children and I love them very much, BUT if I was making the choice to have children today it would be resounding no. Primarily because of people like Elon Musk and the TDS that is speedrunning America's collapse.
I donβt really think they want that at all. I think itβs just another culture war wedge to fuck women with. Then people can claim itβs everything but the class war this clearly is.
Why would they want more kids around? To kill them or destroy them with robots would be the only answer. Nothing in the books they read/write actually indicate they want anyone to have more kids.
Replaceable wage slaves. They can bring every ounce of productivity out of one human, toss them out and grab another.
When a dude who TRIED to get into pedo-island is telling you he needs more kids, perhaps you should trust your gut and gtfo.
On Christmas morning emails epstien about it no less. A real family man he is.
The irony of American white nationalism will always be that that despite being a white American by birth and genetics, even as I fight that privilege, Iβll still be a βbetterβ white American than the worldβs richest immigrant can ever be. You picked the wrong allies, you picked the wrong fight, and your ancestors (exploiters as they were) picked the wrong continent. Youβll never be βgoodβ enough. And while I despise that standard, your failure to figure that out and your personal collapse is a small delight.
He doesn't even like his own children.
And they don't even like him
I don't think that is true he uses them as props all the time.
"This is my son, Kevlar."
Meanwhile I got blasted for following the "wait with children until you're financially stable" advice as a white person (it was supposed to apply to non-whites only).
The elite want people to have children because people with children have something they could lose that isn't theirs to sacrifice. It makes them easier to control.
Hmm... I think it's for a different reason.
Birthrates are down because (amongst other things) it's financially impossible to have a family in this time.
However, as much as these tech billionaires invest into AI, they still need grunt workers to keep society running. So eventually these billionaires will lose value because society doesn't have workers.
Just replace with AI duh. It solves all problems. Like my AI proxy banging my SO AI proxy.
Billionaires can't look 20 years into the future when the babies would grow up to be workers. If they could, they'd see that destroying the environment is going to cost way more in the future than it would to just fuck it less now.
Don't let Elon musk tell you what to do with your genitals. Also anyone that cares about brith rate and however much there is of whatever race is weird.
Humans will ultimately evolve into another species and concept of human races will become irrelevant.
Punch a nazi today
Asshole apartheid beneficiary.
When did having multiple baby mommas become NOT embarrassing?
when you're rich.
Crazy? bad
Craz and rich? eccentric
Alcoholic? bad
Alcoholic rich? classy
...
People who have no shame don't get embarrassed the same way.
I don't think shame and embarrassment are the same thing. Embarrassment often requires humility, but when people are ashamed, they dodge accountability.
The cost is parenthood is probably one of the biggest obstacles to having a higher fertility rate in most industrialized countries.
You want more babies? Stop hoarding all the money with the other 15 richest people in the country. Pay your fair share of taxes so the people looking to start building families get the support they need and their children have access to an affordable quality education. Also give everyone a fair pay.
To add: Baby boom wasn't horny vets.
They through money at it. One form was affordable mortgages
government-guaranteed mortgages in the 1930s and 1940s led to dramatically higher rates of home ownership among young couples. βMortgage insurance programs led to 3 million additional births from 1935-1957, roughly 10 percent of the excess births in the baby boom,
so he can traffick them for "MS kungfu instructor" and Epsteins clientele after thier "source of victims" have disappeared.
Too accurate
It's missing the bit where he starts screaming "You will not replace us!" and accusing them of pedophilia.
while he has a eugenics breeding fetish, IMPLANTING sperm into surrogates like an alien.
When time is the only true commodity, but the ruling class decides that they need more decimal points In their registers...
This dude is so fucking creepy
He is. So much like Goebbels.
