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.

MODERATORS
You're absolutely right!
The Bible is right, according to the Bible
The best part is that "my own research" now includes asking the misinformation machine and taking its response at face value! =D
How is that any different from asking the search machine or the echo chamber non-machine? If you want to confirm your bias you will find a way, and will disregard all evidence to the contrary on your way there.
Bold of you to assume that they'll read past the cover.
Two books I started reading knowing I'd disagree with the author:
- Introduction to Austrian Economics. That school of economics is helpful as a model for understanding economics, though only through the lens of an idealized system. The same way that understanding how a point-like mass moves helps you understand how a canon ball moves. But then it goes on to say that your inalienable/natural right to safety in your person is basically the fundamental property right from which all of what the anarcho-capitalists call "theory" directly derives. Which makes it rather circular. "Property rights ∴ property rights."
- The Singularity Is Near by Ray Kurzweil. I knew my reaction to it would be visceral, but defending DRM was the last straw. I finished the Austrian Economics book. But I didn't get a quarter of the way into the Kurzweil book before rage quitting.
did they explain why they're afraid of math in the austrian "economics" book?
