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.

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.
