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.

MODERATORS
I read a comment on some political video, which was basically this idea, so I drew some crappy figures.
Worst day for democracy so far.
it’s not pessimism when it’s simple fact
It's pessimism when you use it as an excuse to do nothing about it.
depends if there is something you can actually do
It might. Remember to have hope and stay strong. Who does it benefit for you to feel defeated? There's a clear answer to who will benefit. You can open the link as is, or in the app tubular. Either way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdS-lwb58KU
Oh, things will get worse... We haven't actually felt hardly any of the effects. When someone loses their job, it sucks, but it's not actually that bad until they're getting evicted or can't buy food. Cutting public health and research isn't bad until we have the next pandemic. Cutting all these government subsidies isn't that bad until the farmers go under and we can't find healthy food
I don't see that as defeatism, I see it as the working class is about to be very, very angry about the same things at the same time, and that means opportunity for change
Sorry, double response. If you are in America, there are direct things you can do. The YouTubers always say to "call you local constituents", right? If you are not in America you can join the boycott of American services and goods. Join the fight. Yes this is the beginning. But for god sakes, get up from the floor and pull your pants up!
Stay strong my friend. Understand that we have power together. We must unite and not take this shit laying down with our asses up. Stay strong
Lemmy loves to play to the negatives in everything. At this point I think it’s propaganda.
Just a friendly reminder to take a break when the news are getting too overwhelming.
STOP– Stop, Think, Orient, Plan
I've been noticing this more and more. Do you know any other forum where people who want to make a positive change can come together?
I wish I did. If you find one let me know.
Kids these days don't know how good they have it! It's going to be so much worse
I've started learning Russian in preparation.
The Russians are pushing hard right now. Stay strong! This is how they want you to feel! Defeated and scared.
The unknown is always scary. The known tends to be less so.
Third panel, "ill make sure of it." (For the children of MAGA)
MAGA as in - make America "greet" again"- ?
