The Rules

...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.

This is what libertarian thought does to a person. People lose all sense of perspective.

It's like gaslighting yourself. Huffing it hard. I honestly think it has to do with lower intelligence. You simplify things until they make sense to you, regardless if they make sense in actual reality, because you're too stupid to comprehend anything more complex than racist Disney cartoons from the 30's.

There's an amazing book. Combatting Cult Mind Control, but even intelligent people fall for this bullshit because it's all emotional manipulation.

To a higher or a lesser degree, sure. I'm just saying, the statistics are firmly skewed in one direction.
