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 used to be baffled by people's behavior in the same way, but recently I've come to understand that a lot of people see the world through the lens of power instead of morals, and they want to see themselves as the most powerful. Socialism means they didn't "earn" their business, and surely they can become the next mogul without it. He doesn't care about other immigrants because he sees himself as above them.

That's one of the most concise ways I've seen it written out. People think reactionaries are stupid; when they say that, they don't understand that conservative morality is wholly based on putting themselves higher in the hierarchy than the people they hate.

It's why they make exceptions for themselves and their loved ones: it's entirely morally consistent that they deserve the exceptions because of who they are.
