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.

We can't even agree on what most of these words mean, much less get the majority of people to care about whether we adhere to them. I know multiple people who think the entirety of science is wrong, and that hispanic people don't have the human right of safe housing, even when legal citizens.
I think the point here is less about actually throwing these terms around and more about the absurdity that it's basically already like this and folks ain't being honest about it
Your point is that the terms on the first panel are more clear?
Well, either way, calling xenophobia as "barbarism" is a nice ironical way for the language to evolve.
My point is that the time when we might have found the right words to fix things is almost certainly over. It's now time to start fighting against injustice with real action.
