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'm pretty sure that's the plan. I think there's even a name for it? Keep us so overloaded with fucked up news that we just zone out and let them carry on with their christo fascist nazi agenda.
Hypernormalisation
'Flood the zone' it's called I think.
I just flooded all over my zone.
I've heard "firehose of falsehoods" but I think it's not the same, just a related tactic. Overall they are trying to keep the people who care news-weary, and it's working
"Firehose of Depressing News Stories" is my new phrase for this
Let them? Sounds like you still think you are in charge.
I think the other poster is 100% correct and its about creating new insane news almost daily so people cant watch it anymore and they stop caring.
