Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

What a dumbass thing to say.

LOL wut? It's the perfect thing to say. They're playing this for all the propaganda they can squeeze. Meanwhile, liberals be like, "But this is obvious bullshit!"

They've created a perfect "us vs. them" litmus test. If I wore a "Charlie Kirk: Single shot through the engine block!" T-shirt in my little hick town, I would be challenged, escalating to threat. And it would end with someone getting shot.

We're playing fair while they cheat their ass off, in front of god and everyone. Calling out the hypocrisy is useless. We need propaganda of our own. Problem is, people like me, and presumably you, have a hard time lying for social or economic gain.

Well if we're doing that then:

George Floyd died for our sins thus he was Christ reborn!!!

Well, we did get worldwide protests out of that event. And now "woke" is a bad word. Go figure.
