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.

Lol. Place the blame anywhere but themselves.

This is the 21st century version of witch burning, and I’m not even kidding. Far-right circles have been screeching about how she’s an actual witch whose concerts are satanic rituals because of some throw-away line she said at a recent concert, and since their movement is ordained by god or whatever of course they could only lose if the witch cursed them.

I wish I was kidding, but that’s really what they’re saying. If this was a small town, they’d be pressing her to death at the next moon.

How is this insanity mainstream? It’s crazy. They’re crazy people.

Witches are more powerful than God?

According to Salem witch logic, yeah. A few teenage girls were able to override god for an entire colony, such that people had to be pressed to death.
