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.

Then explain human history and literally everything else we know

For what? This would change nothing. The only thing you can change are your own actions at this very moment.

It is only denial, optimistic bias, self delusion, and other mediating psychological effects that allow us to see ourselves as anything better

"Everyone is an asshole, so it's okay for me to be an asshole too"?!

You do you! I strongly believe most people don't enjoy seeing other people suffering. I'm no saint either but I try my best. I think that's a way better starting point than your take.

I thought we were talking about societal concepts? Those would literally change everything given it's about the shape of our very environment, it's okay if you don't want to engage in such a discussion though.

Sorry mate, english is not my first language. I just wrote a response anyway but lemmy bugged when i tried to post it. :(

I think everyone can act like a monster if he thinks the other person deserves it. unfortunately all the negativity in the media and from influential people enforces this worldview.

I try to abstain from and to not discuss shit like that. Life is too short to be angry about things i can't change. What i can do is act as good as i can in my personal life and that's about it.

Have a nice day and don't let the negativity get the best of you
