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.

As in, they're power tripping? Absolutely. When you get a false sense of importance, especially when you have sycophants reinforcing this image, narcissists in particular tend to act poorly toward their fellow human beings.
This is one of the best reasons to socially stigmatize wealth hoarding, even if you can't change the fundamentals of the capitalist system that causes it in the first place.
If enough people make people who hoard money feel lesser than, to the point that having less is a preferable alternative, then they're more likely to give away their wealth and become at least a little bit less shitty people.
This is also, coincidentally, why rich people isolate themselves within bubbles of similarly rich individuals, who won't look down on them for being so greedy and narcissistic.
This is why we should have mandatory testing for NPD and be institutionalising anyone who tests positive. Narcissists cannot be allowed to walk the streets freely, their mental illness is too dangerous.
What NPD?
Narcissistic Personality Disorder. A narcissist is someone with NPD. And they all deserve the gas chamber treatment.
O_o
People with certain mental disorders aren't fit to live in society. Donald Trump is proof of that. And if you think we should extend mercy to people with his disorder, you're defending a fascist.
Jesus christ
Was also a narcissist. He literally told people to worship him. He probably only fed the hungry and healed the sick for attention.

And your solution, killing everyone in a category, isn't fascistic?
Narcissists aren't people
Humans are people.
You mean psychos like thay V.I. Lenin guy?
Psychopaths should also be institutionalised. And autists.
