I looked it up on the internet and didn't believe it initially because there wasn't anything about it tbh but I misread the comments and the comment mentioning it as satire, I read as not satire something somethings... I was confused and have disabilities that make it hard to be clearheaded, coherent and read well (I feel a bit extra scatteer brained today) but then again a lot about America feels like a bit come true so now I am just embarrassed after finding out the truth about it and I guess I will just
If it makes you feel better at all, you're actually not the first Hexbear user I've spoken to today who wasn't familiar with the site and thought it was a real news article. Like I said in my other comment, for a second I thought it might be real too, but then I checked the site and I was familiar with it as satire publication so I knew it was fake. It says a lot about AmeriKKKa that this seems plausible to many of us.
Thanks comrade, I feel a bit better. The lines between satire and fiction has been blurred a lot recently and it made me think about that documentary called Hypernormalization.
Our community is overdue for another round of contending with our ironic tendency. It is at a level that is weakening the site, IMO. There is a positive feedback between doomerism and ironic "gallows humor" and see need to reduce both before we burn each other out.
I didn't mean to make you feel bad comrade! It's been a long day.
I totally understand after all that has happened, I felt a bit doomerish
Dont worry about it
Thanks, I will forget about it eventually
