    If law enforcement has to get invovled via anti-trust laws, society has already failed. If society would be more responsible with their purchases, we didn’t need law enforcement clean up our messes.

      Yes, that’s the entire point: this system has failed. You can’t change the system by “voting with your wallet”, that has never worked to bring about any kind of change

        I’ll disagree. We had a lot of success stories regarding that. The most prominent is the recent bud light boycott (even tho for the, in my opinion, wrong reason), but before, we had:

        • Star Wars Battlefront II boycott: Very successful one where EA actually had to do a 180 on MTX.
        • Wizards of the Coast D&D Licence backlash: https://www.axios.com/2023/01/23/dungeons-dragons-ogl-wizards-of-the-coast
        • Uber boycott: https://www.businessinsider.com/uber-deleteuber-protest-hundreds-of-thousands-quit-app-2019-4
        • Older, but relevant - the Shell boycott in 95: https://www.greenpeace.de/klimaschutz/energiewende/oelausstieg/chronik-konzern-versenkt-image (I can somehow only find this german one, maybe you can find an english one)

        So no, boycotts do work. It has worked earlier and can work now.

        The problem is that most people are complacent and straightup don’t want to bear the responsibility of doing something against those corporations.

          The trick is to get organized and do it together.

  • 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.
