History

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

The human experience is built on cruelty.

The human experience is built on cruelty.

Well, almost. The human experience of the imperial core is built on cruelty. I'm pretty sure the Native Americans weren't slaughtering animals on an industrial scale.

Depending on which Native Americans we're taking about, some of them drove entire herds of bison over cliffs. Our European ancestors hunted the mastodon to extinction, I think? In Australia and New Zealand a bunch of reptiles and the moa birds were wiped out by humans.

I don't think most humans are ever thinking about genocide exactly (probably some are/were), but that they're focused on feeding and defending their communities and not considering the balance of the ecosystem.
