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.

there's no fucking handbook for what we're going through right now

There are literally thousands of books about how to resist fascism. It has been a mainstream topic for decades now.

For starters:

The history of boycotts shows us that sustained boycotts can be enormously effective. During the civil rights movement, the Montgomery and Tallahassee bus boycotts ended racial segregation on local bus systems. Sustained boycotts were also instrumental in ending apartheid in South Africa.

Maybe we should give more credit to people doing imperfect things than to those doing nothing other than pointing out how imperfectly those things are.

Criticism is essential to building stronger movements, and any organizer worth their salt can handle criticism without an emotional outburst.

People doing things imperfectly can be more harmful than just not doing them at all. One-day boycotts damage the reputation of boycotts as a whole, which makes people more reluctant to participate in them because they view them as pointless and ineffective.
