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.

No, wait, yeah, all those things are true of European nations.
And by the wonders of colonialism, also of American nations.
To everybody's chagrin yeah, the stupid bible is a fact of life people have to deal with and has been so for a couple millenia, but that's not some ancient European thing that makes Europeans so much more connected to their cultural heritage or whatever. Americans are very much on that boat. At the helm of that boat, actually, in some form of malformed Dutchglish protestant thing.
The argument you were making is that white Americans have no cultural heritage to speak of when compared to "traditions and cultures in Europe". US Christmas borrowed as much Yule and Saturnalia as French Christmas, if not more so. Cultural heritage unlocked, European exoticization still unnecessary.
