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.

actually, it depends on who you ask. some will say it's the kids fault for being so shootable. some will blame it on trans kids or gay people or immigrants. some will blame the libs, some on capitalism, the devil, nonbelivers and others even the president. someone may end up being charged with a war crime, but it's gonna be entirely random.

Anybody but the weapons manufacturers and investors. I think I heard a popular show say recently "Everything is a product.....The end of the fucking world is a product." The only responsibility any of these people feel is toward their stock prices.

It's all based on geography.

If the school is located in a mineral rich area or underground oil field, then that wasn't a school, it was a military base and those weren't students they were terrorists.

If the school is located in aa area that lacks any natural wealth, then the robots have become autonomous and acted without control by anyone. It was an accident.

most of those responses are obviously in bad faith, though. How have we gotten to a point where we feel compelled to respond to bad faith at all?
