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.

This is why you don't acquiesce to facsist threats...

If you fold, they win for free, and can claim that it's a coincidence you do what they wanted.

This morherfucker was posting memes on social media laughing about how it worked and had been intentionally planned. Now he wants to act like it was just an offhand comment.

You have to fight every fucking battle, no matter how pedantic, how pointless, or how much plausible deniability they have.

Don't give them a fucking inch for free, because if it's easy they'll keep doing it. If every inch is a battle, it runs down the clock and makes them want to just fuck off and go golfing instead.

Damn right.

No quarter for fascists.

I mean, it’s a corpo that acquiesced. They don’t care about rights or vindication or freedom, they just care about line go up. This is good advice for average people, but does not make the line go up.

Counterpoint: we've got to tell the mega corporations and C-suiters that they will lose money appealing to MAGA. Go fash, lose cash. Give money to the ones that fight back, buy from good local businesses, and be informed about where the megas stand and cut back as much support as you can.

Finally, a worthy opponent to “go woke, go broke” — I'll use “go fash, lose cash” for years to come!

I cant claim that I created it (dunno where I first saw it either) but absolutely use it! And make sure the 1% knows it true, too
