This is another one of those comics that unfortunately feels like it's about something other than me giggling.

Absolutely right. There were Germans protesting against the Nazis, there were Americans supporting the Nazis. There were American abolitionists opposing slavery, there were non-Americans who were jealous of slavery.
It turns out, humans are humans in any era. They can know right from wrong, and they can be convinced that wrong is right. Just because they grew up under shitty conditions and were taught shitty beliefs doesn't mean we have to give humans a free pass for being shitty people, past or present.
it's depressing being surrounded by people whose only defense for their beliefs is "that's just how i was brought up"
