History

@MrSebSin@sh.itjust.works started this community and wrote:

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

Most people aren't these YT commenters or Twitter megaphones like Donald Trump.

It's an attention amplification mirage. But we've fed the trolls and given them power.

IMO if folks were largely aware of that, they'd be burning down the headquarters of Big Tech, Big Media, stuff like that. Instead, it makes them depressed because it looks like all other humans are mad, and I find that really sad.

You definitely have a point. They're not a majority of people. They're just so loud and noisy the real majority can't have a decent conversation anymore.

Not in social media, at least. Social media is totally rigged and scored to fascism.

The reason assholes like Trump can win elections is because there are SO many other assholes who support them.

Trump won because more people valued hurting others than helping others.

Trump won because of algorithmic propaganda and people following idols instead of history.

This includes the 'assholes' who have been indocrinated for decades.

Not necessarily. This is a very simplified, decolorized version of events.

Most voters in the US can't even name and shallowly describe any given policy of their chosen candidate. Americans voted for Trump, because they liked one or two things they heard him say. Or simply because they only knew one of the names on the form.
