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.

I'm curious then, and this is not a value judgment. This is a genuine question to understand the perspective. Is the threat of getting abused in jail the only thing keeping you from breaking the law? If you could guarantee no consequences, would you start murdering? Personally, things wouldn't change for me. Just like I don't need god as a moral authority, I don't need law to want to be beneficial to my community.
The consequences keep me from doing things. I mean do I really need to explain the obvious?
I am not going to send anyone funny words on lemmy when I am angry to not get banned.
What user iforglythename wants is to not have bans on lemmy. Let’s see what happens. Let’s see how that will work out
It’s flabbergasting that this even needs explanation. I think you guys may be so out of touch with nature the whole lemmy reality is bizzare and trippy at this point. Someone needs to be sane here
Personally I don't murder because I don't want to and I feel like it's wrong to do so. Sure there are consequences, but I really don't need them to stop me from going out murdering people. Perhaps there are people who do need these consequences, but it seems a fair statement to say that most don't.
Yea sure yet even online I see many comments that want to kill the rich or kill the pedophiles, Russians or animal abusers or anyone that person thinks they deserve to die.
In what world you live where it isn’t the majority?
You're taking the utterings of keyboard warriors as reflective of reality?
Justice boner isn’t an internet phenomenon. Just look at history and all the burned witches. People aren’t some fairy tale elves. We are animals looking for a reason for public lynching more often than not. People violently release pent up frustrations because of love interest rejection. Rape is commonplace. As is harassment.
Anarchists are such naive children inside that it is moving. Meanwhile people regularly elect facists and racists even in this milquetoast form of democracy let alone ultimate, radical democracy of anarchy. People aren’t fit to decide their own stuff unfortunately. I wish it wasn’t true. I deeply wish so.
Internet is merely a mirror into the soul of humanity. What hides under the beneficial mask of social politeness is seen when there is no reason to pretend.
Lemmy is a cool fragile bubble for certain kind of naive lefty ppl. Lacking some old good sense and that may even be dangerous ignorance of how prevalent in society are some type of folks even if they aren’t immediately recognisable. We carry gas or guns for a reason.
I have been too angry in previous comments. I apologise.
