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:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...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.

And that’s basically it!

EDIT By all means, downvote, but identity politics failed, and it's because you decided someone saying a mean word was a more important political concern than someone being able to feed their kids. It's that simple.

It seems apparent that Americans have decided that mean words are no longer an important concern culturally. Still a shitty thing to say, but the majority doesn't care.
