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.

A few decades too late for that particular cause.
The most constructive cause right now is The World vs The 1%.
Take down capitalism but not the patriarchy, and all you're left with is a non-capitalist patriarchy. Which would suit some just fine, sure, but one thing it isn't is constructive.
What patriarchy? There's is no patriarchy. All we have left from that era are the ultra rich.
Are you a white man in America? You're saying white man in America type shit. Do you think racism is a relic of the past too?
No I'm a mixed man from Denmark, and mostly bullshit comes from America, including your kind.
I'd very much like it to not effect the rest the world as it does.
You literally have no idea what you're talking about then. Your sin is bold ignorance. I'm happy you don't have to deal with this shithole, but here in America, we have a strong patriarchy. Simple fact.
No, America is just backwards compared to the rest of the modern developed world. It's not just social issues you have there. The whole country is corporate ruled, a lot of your traditions originating in either the hostile takeover of land or as a method of advertising by some company, and many of your laws are created through lobbying of these sane corporate entities. So deeply rooted are American problems that simply attributing it to one thing, like patriarchy or racism, is completely missing the point.
You want to make America better, you'll have to first destroy everything America is built upon. And stop mistaking outside observation for ignorance; Americans would do well to listening to the rest if the world.
You said a lot of words just to point out that yes, there's a patriarchy problem in America. I'm well aware that there are many problems. You said that patriarchy wasn't a problem. I said it was. Everything else you're going on about is irrelevant.
