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.

aka information silos
It's a real problem. And the scary part is that if somone told you that most of the info you see everyday was lacking, manipulated or flat out lies, would you believe them or double down?
I'm wrong all the time. Anyone who never admits to being wrong is an idiot. That's a person that never learns anything. I just want solid proof.
Although it would take a metric fuck ton of proof to believe that conservatives are anything but parasite and idiots, because I've witnessed soooo much greed and ignorance first hand.
But there are definitely things that I've been manipulated into believing that aren't true. Police are good. Anything with the recycling logo will get recycled if I put it in the right bin. Roundabouts are stupid.
I try my best to learn from my mistakes, and to be wary of propaganda and gossip disguised as facts that I want to believe.
Double down, I trust you guys to tell me what’s really going on
