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.”

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!

They're not really "their own people". When you have a pool of hundreds of millions of people to pick from, it's easy enough to find someone who is willing to sell out their race, gender or sexuality for 15 minutes of fame, only to be second against the wall when the fascists they've enabled take power.
