So very very true.

We always have been evil. This isn't something new. The Internet just makes it more noticeable

That is the wrong thing to learn from this. It is literally the conservative talking point: "There is no need to try and improve society, because we have always been evil".

Nobody in the comic or this thread said don't try and make a better world. That is a strawman argument you created in your own head.

New comics posted whenever they get posted on the site, and old comics posted every day until we catch up in a decade or so

Rules:

  1. Be nice
  2. Please don't comment about comics having ads for the author's other works. Blame capitalism.
