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.

Yeah that's right, take a single adjective-noun pairing out of a sentence and pretend like that was the only thing in the sentence that mattered.
If this thread is any indication, you're not equipped to persuade anyone of anything much less persuading bigots to stop being bigots.
I'm just tired of people online calling everything fascism. You've taken a term that means something and made it mean nothing. Your definition of fascist is worthless. Stop using the word.
Lol

"Stop using the word"
Shouldn't you be trying to win out in "the free marketplace of ideas" through persuasion instead of demanding people stop using words in ways you don't like? Or does that only apply to non-Nazis?
Did I use force to try and stop you or did I merely tell you your usage of the term is stupid and you should stop using it?
Nah, you just completely failed in a "free exchange of ideas" in the "marketplace of ideas" and resorted to forceful language instead of rational argument, which is utterly predictable because you're human and emotional like everyone else and it's just more proof of my point.
Whatever you want to believe.
At least, I think you're human like everyone else, but you could be NaziSimpGPT or something. Does that exist? Is that you?
