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).

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.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.

Because the technical definition of 'liberal' is somebody who has buy in to the idealogy of liberalism^1^. According to the original left vs. right wing of the French National Assembly "liberals" were left wing and "conservatives", aka monarchists, were right wing.

That was nearly 250 years ago.

In the modern era where monarchies are mostly extinct the way that an individual achieves the modern equivalent of the "divine right of kings" is via the "right to private property". So both it and conservatism are fighting to fill the niche that once held the monarchists, the fight is whether it should be wealthy corporations or a religious monarchy that fills it. It should go without saying that these are both extremely far right positions.

^1^ also worth reading a bit about the technical definition/understandings of neoliberalism
