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 really trying to pin his motivation to absolutely anything but how fucked up our country is.

WE LARPED IT TOO

I can't if we really in uncharted turf but we are going on 1 week of unity. It is grass roots too.

Media, corpos and government is doing weird fucking shit and it makes them look kinda stupid now but remember these tricks worked for decades. They were always split us and turn every situation into a left/right issue with solution being impossible.

This is a class war! We can finish culture war after we fix class relations.

I bet the "culture war" was started by those trying to divide. Maybe the class war will be a two birds with one stone thing.

I agree if everybody had enough food, housing, health and education, then yes most of culture war issues would be auto resolved.

Reminder would need to be handled with some solidarity, nothing that can't be done if people are feeling decent about their lives.

AP and CNN both reporting, for days, "no known motive". That says all I need to hear.

That way the corpos can try and focus the energy of the low-education religious folks (trying to frame that in a non-disrespectful way as people be people, yo, even the misguided) that live off being constantly angry away from the fact that they all should be targeting their anger at CEOs and instead to some of the old soft made-up topics not based in reality. How long until the corpos spread a rumor that a covid vaccine generated his behavior?

We citizens get unity and the corpos are all proper fucked. About time we did get some unity. We're darn close.

Did he also eat sugar? Did you know Hitler ate sugar, too?

Witnesses say he enjoyed dihydrogen monoxide. This substance is distributed in schools.

404 mocking CNN skit they got that boy to do?

I don't get why his friend would go on TV for this

Satire sites continue to deliver, despite my expectations that it would be so hard in this climate.
