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.

No, see, if they get to shift the focus away from the patriarchy (or other systems of oppression they just happen to benefit from, be it Christian white supremacy, cis heteronormativity, abled supremacy), they don't have to consider and possibly unlearn their own views and behaviours..
When someone insists on "no war but the class war" they often mean "no war impacts me other than the class war, so that's the only war I'm interested in fighting".
I'm sure that applies to a good chunk of the population, but I think there's more to "no war but class war" than just dodging personal responsibility.
The owning class needs to convince people to vote against their best interests, and the primary tactic they use is to divide the working class.
Would winning the class war fix everything else? Hell nah - the rich aren't just making these divisions up. But they are going to do their best to stoke the flames, because they need the distraction. We need to fight patriarchy no matter what. But the class war is making those fights harder.
All that said, trying to downplay legitimate concerns about oppressed populations by saying "no war but the class war" is very "all lives matter".
Well said.
