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.

That post was by a troll (their account was ten minutes old and the only other post was them saying "trolling Lemmy is so easy")
You are feeding the troll by talking about how mad it made you.
Next time, just report, block, downvote, and move on.
The thing is, I don't think right wing trolls are just looking to annoy people. They're spreading a propaganda. They want at least a part of the people who see it to believe at least a part of what they're saying. And by repeating it a lot in many places, it can work. That's why I think it's also good to make a counter propaganda sometimes, not for the troll, but some who might tend to believe them. It is also true that banning them and removing their post was objectively a good thing to do, but I still wanted to post the refutation, and since this is a comic strip community it had to do a comic strip and this is one of the two ideas I could come up with (the other idea would've been a comic presenting the inventions in question, but it would've taken too much work and I wanted to post my text right now, lol).
