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.

I had to institute a no-politics rule with certain family members during the pan. It's saved relationships.
I have zero friends who are intolerant or hateful or shitty to others. If I found out someone I hadn't spoken to in a long time had become like the right wing nuts in my family I'd first try to talk to them about why that happened with hope of saving them, but if not: get out of my life.
Typical moderate: full of principles until they require sacrifice.
I don't presume to know your situation or the people you've dealt with so I'll be charitable and imagine you cut your losses and quit similar situations in good faith, but you and I are both ignorant about the lives of others. It seems to me like the behavior you label an abandonment of principle leaves the door open to future redemption of a loved one. That's worth fighting for. On that ground, I think you should stop sharing this opinion even if it's true for you. If they don't want to damn their own mother to a propoganda echo chamber full of malice then I'm rooting for them.
No.
Ok coward
