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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Sure, in a wildly extreme version of it and only when the goverment does it. So, basically not at all.
Many of the people who demand “debate” have no real interest in engaging properly, they just want to spew their shit without consequence. People are getting really tired of it and having to constantly do the legwork for them since they’re not even willing to try a little bit or even learn when obvious facts are presented in their little “debates”.
First things first, what is a government? Because many corporations have more soft and hard power than the majority of all governments through history, the same can be said about certain influencers, is it simply the Monopoly on violence? Because that seems awfully arbitrary and means any bully is a government, I would argue the principal behind it is far more important than some arbitrary definition of government that even international bodies don't agree on.
Second thing second, sure, many, people argue in bad faith, many are improper many are etc but certainly not all and certainly not every influencer or company should be the absolute arbiter of Truth and moral.
“What is government” oh my god it’s a comic you pea-brained pseudo-intellectual. Actually just shut the fuck up.
Oh no, I’m being totalitarian!
It is just a comic, just like trump is just joking about Tariffs and infact the very idea of him ever getting elected is a meme and a joke, or the Flat Earth theory, that is sooooo funny, or how about the Tide Pod challenge, wasn't that funny????????? Or remember all that time ago when school shootings were a Joke? Wasn't that sooooooooo funny ???? 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
