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.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Sheeesh, and ya all wonder why no one listens to the left.

If you know shit about topic, you can only skim the surface. That's common sense. More police = less crime. More military = less risk of being attacked. More goods = smaller prices. That's common sense.

What it doesn't account for is, for example, too much police = more corruption, too much military = expansionist ideas, too many goods = oversaturation and sharp drop in said goods. Because that requires deeper knowledge. Yes, not much deeper, but you need to know these things are in fact factors, and that the problem is more complex than what's seen at a glance.

Edit: Forgot to answer why it's overused by racists etc. If you know black do most crime out of all, it's common sense to want them pacified. If you know drugs are bad and mexicans are known for cartels, it makes sense to not want mexicans which can be smugglers. It all falls apart as soon as you read on it or do anything, but what these people have most of is willful ignorance.
