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!

We just reached a point where they feel confident in going full mask off. They have subverted the american democracy and are poised to do it elsewhere too, and can pursue their hideous goals more openly.
Bingo. We've been building toward this moment for decades. The pessimist in me doesn't think we'll be able to turn things around without massive upheaval and bloodshed.
I mean at least we outnumber them by a literal fuck ton.
Do we? A lot of people have stood on the sidelines and done nothing. They will continue to do nothing under fascism as long as they can live comfortable sedated lives.
I don't know. That seems pretty fragile these days with so many people barely scraping by. Sure most of us have enough for food but what else do we have? And they seem to be making no effort in improving our quality of life. In fact they are deliberately sabotaging it.
What are you doing differently?
Alienation is a helluva drug
