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.

More often than not, MAGA tend to stab themselves in the back. They just don't have the self-awareness for it.

was thinking of saying the knife should be in the back but the artist is right. this is pretty in the front.

Had kind of a similar conversation with my dad recently. "I'm sorry you feel that way." "Well they're cutting Medicaid, so we'll see how that goes for you."

‘I’m sorry you feel that way.’ He’s sorry you think people should have equal rights?

Your dad doesn’t have a political problem, he has a morality problem.

Even the non-apology "apology" is unacceptable!

Tolerance paradoxically demands intolerance of the intolerant.

[–] MartianSands@sh.itjust.works 143 points 1 day ago (5 children)

It was pointed out to me a while back that the paradox of tolerance is only a paradox if you consider tolerance to be a philosophical position.

In fact, we don't treat it like that. We treat it as a social contract, in which context it is no paradox at all to say that if you aren't tolerant then other people aren't obliged to tolerate you in turn

My trumpet sister has wisely stopped praising her false god in my presence when they visit at least

I'll take my downvotes, but while I agree with the sentiment in this particular comic I have no fucking interest in seeing shitty pizzacake and her no-punchline comics or her army of sycophants here on Lemmy.

I will never understand why some of you insist on bringing the garbage we left Reddit to escape over here to Lemmy. Let pizzacake have her tiny window of microcelebrity on reddit and please spare the rest of us this bullshit.

We kimosabe? I left Reddit because because its rapidly becoming a rightwing hellhole and it's inevitable enshitification due to being centralized and privately owned. Go create your own circlejerk club lemmy instance that hates pizzacake. Or just filter it.

Or IDK, downvote and move on. Lambasting a comic book artist in the comments because you see them as undeserving of their success is aggressively elitist hipster douchebaggery.

You should be like me and make everyone hate you for reasons that matter (Telling them their politics and philosophy is shit and stupid) and not arbitrary culture in-group-out-group elitism.
