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.

If they don’t kill you for being too open-minded and compassionate, you might live long enough go see yourself become the racist uncle

Nah. The "old age makes you conservative" adage is bs. I may not always be precisely on top of current trends, but I'll never be a racist, hateful shithead just because I lived a bit longer.

Open-minded and understanding?

This is an ironic comic. I'd say it's making fun of both sides, but you know that's not the intent so it's just super cringey.

Edit: Oh, it seems I've upset the open-minded and understanding. Perhaps the irony has flown over their open heads. Enjoy distancing your family this Thanksgiving and not understanding why you grow less tolerated and heard by uncles.

Paradox of Tolerance

[–] [email protected] 13 points 13 hours ago

Reminder: there is no such thing as the paradox of tolerance.

The rules of tolerance only applies to the people who abide by it.

Therefore, you are tolerant of tolerant people if you abide by the rules of tolerance. You are intolerant of intolerant people if you abide by the rules of tolerance.

It is very straightforward, the only pathway to paradox is from a lack of lexical understanding of the rules of tolerance.

What aren't we understanding about, eh?

Any possible reason why anyone could have voted for Trump besides being racist or an idiot. That blanket labelling half the country as Nazis wasn't effective last time and isn't effective now. That a large portion of the populace feels so desperate for change that they were willing to vote for the fucking cheeto supreme.

I voted for Harris, and I completely believe Trump was the worst fucking choice the voting populace could have made, but unless you're actually calling for the extermination of roughly half the country there has to be some attempt at understanding or bridging the gap wherever it can be bridged.

Nobody mentioned trump but you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

I mean, they're wearing red hats in the second panel. They inferred Trump.
