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!

Mindlessly accepting authority is far worse and leads to fascism.

it starts with skittles, and ends with a holocaust.

Seriously, the people carping on about the fascism reeealy need to get some perspective on life I think.

You can choose not to go to the cinema. The options here aren't "accept or disobey".

You can entirely remove yourself from the situation, given the fact no-one is forcing you to go into their private premises.

Unlike actual fascism in a country where escaping the government is, at best, uprooting your entire life. Or worst, illegal / risking your life / impossible.

I’m on the side of business here. It’s private, their rules, etc. My comment was more a response to their appeal to authority.
