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!

I'm guessing he was a bigot long before he tried a single drug and certainly long before social media.

Because those things do not cause bigotry.

Because those things do not cause bigotry.

While that could be true, they sure cause metastasizing bigotry.

Maybe, but I think in his case, what those things (and his mental illness) do is remove his filter.

When he wasn't open about it, it was still right there, barely beneath the surface.
