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.

Oh, that's what everyone believes as well. Just with different definitions of "humans"
So what are you hinting at? That by your definition of "human" the message of the comic is wrong and a majority of humans is evil? What do you classify good people then? Angels?
I think they meant that often the out-group is defined as non- or sub-human. So technically they believe all humans are trustworthy, kind and peaceful, just not those in the out-group, but they're not really humans anyway.
Yeah, that was what I was going for. Obviously, I was also exaggerating for the sake of a joke, just like the original meme - just into a different extreme
I think it's a stretch to assume that the average doom-scroller is into nazi ideology - and that's what separating a group as "subhumans" is in fact.
That the world goes to shit and humans are evil is a pretty popular narrative on social media.
