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.

You treat them as less than human, unworthy to have a dialogue with. They treat a group of people as less than human too. The only difference is the pretext. The cause can be good or bad, it doesn’t justify crappy behaviour.

You don't open dialogue with Nazis, you punch them. Likewise you don't debate bro reactionary rightists, we're not playing that Charlie Kirk bullshit game.

Groups are abstractions anyway, people should be judged individually and based of their actions, otherwise it’s just plain bigotry.

Cool, which is exactly what this comic is about. The individual man is being a dick, and getting judged for it.

I also said that it’s only human to make mistake in your judgements and worldviews.

I have been wrong many times, and I've been rightfully ripped into for it. I've grown because of that. I do not accept that as a reason to coddle pricks.

Charlie Kirk was a politician, and operated on political level. His reason for doing all the "debate me" charade is purely of media representation interests.

By punching a "nazi" you'll only get punched in return, and further villanize yourself in "nazi's" view. Considering that there still lots of people with quite conservative views, by "punching a nazi" you would do a counter-productive job at proving your worldview, thus making your opponents more confident in theirs.

Except my issue is not with the comic. It's with you treating people as obstacles. Dehumanization is a not nice thing to do due to multiple reasons.

you seem to fail at differentiating between critique and pure hatred. Right now you're spreading nothihg but hatred, and that's why i said that you're not much better than the people you hate. You use your sense of morality to justify the hatred, they use theirs. The result is the same: no actions taken, only people going for each other's throats. Basically, you're just as "nazi", the difference is only in the agenda you push. They too believe to be morally correct, you know.

People won't be able to change unless you point them out, where they ought to change and why, and society is kinda not a thing without the communication.

Yes, there are people incapable of change, and yes, they deserve the hate. Only those are always in a minority.
