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.

Yes but going in solo is suicidal and we currently lack revolutionary leadership.
This person gets it.
We need to wait until it is not an actual crime. Rebellion is illegal, until it isn't.
I keep imagining a tipping point where a large percentage of the population wakes up one day and smacks their forehead while saying "OMG, the corruption won't stop because the people that would vote to stop the corruption are all corrupt" ... then they start assembling guillotines.
"someone else do it please" is not the mentality to have if you actually want revolution.
Hot take and so easy to type out with nothing at stake for you, but I'll reply anyway.
With stakes like these, being stupid and trying to do something you know you'll fail at helps nobody, and actually hurts whatever cause you would have eventually joined. When the things I am good at are needed to topple a tyrant, I'll answer the call. I can't help if I'm dead or locked up. I'm not a person that can get a movement off the ground and inspire enough people to join and act in a coordinated fashion that it actually succeeds. Very, very few people are capable of that. That's why we are where we are right now.
Nah, im sure you would survive!
Me too, that’s why I haven’t done anything yet. Gotta be sure.
