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

Uh... Am I the only one worried that proto-slurs are being upvoted on the Fediverse?
I haven't really seen it on Lemmy as much, but Kamala losing to Trump has led to a lot of incredibly racist discussions on Reddit and Twitter. There was a very popular reddit thread the other day discussing how to best get Hispanics deported to punish them for voting for trump.
Feels like there's an increasingly strong idea that racism is ok as long as it's targeting at undesirable people, as if that's a new concept and isn't how racism has always been justified.
The level of self awareness from the left is practically non-existent.
from Liberals
I.E. the people who think they can win in identity politics alone cause that seems progressive enough. Because they look down on everyone else they are all equal minorities in their eyes.
