The media literacy of the general public is surprisingly low. I wouldn’t be shocked if some people actually think like this.

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.

Having your own thoughts is woke
I have bad news - most people think like this. At this point, I don't believe people actually watch the media they consume, even sat right in front of it - They mindless let it pump into their brains, then let other media tell them what emotions they should feel, or (maybe) decide that for themselves based on the fraction of the story they actually processed.
The really bad news is this practice isn't isolated to just fiction.

Is all you need to know about this post lol
On RT, the TV show Pluribus has a critic score of 98%, and an audience score of 69%, so maybe the The Onion's joke about how Breaking Bad fans are not going to like it had something to it.
