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.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Nah, he has a long history since 2012 of being quite conservative and posting dumb takes on Twitter, then in 2016 he stopped pretending he was a libertarian and went full MAGA. Only gotten worse since.

I don't celebrate his death, because I feel like he is pretty insignificant compared to the real government and social media monsters (Meta, Google, etc) currently shaping the world into a worse place. But I won't miss him one bit.

I am unimpressed. Seriously, nothing I see in your list is too heinous.

Also, creating a list of a person's "crimes" like this. It's messed up. It's like something out of the Chinese cultural revolution.

Well, it's not really meant to be impressive. If you read that list and you're like "he seems fine to me", then let's just agree we have very different opinions.

Holding people accountable for shitty things they publicly do, declare, and promote is not "messed up." Being publicly shitty will result in people knowing you're shitty, and I find that good.
