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!

Man, I truly appreciate the effort and passion you put out there. That's some beautiful humanity inside you.

The only thing I can say that doesn't insult what you put out is that, as wonderful as it would be for your hopes to come true, I simply don't believe it is possible without tearing down the country built on slavery, oligarchy, and sheer hubris, and starting fresh. The system isn't just broken, it was never whole.

Again, I am so glad to see someone put that much thought into a response to my sheer disgust at the world, and bring hope into the subject. I can't debate the fine points of it without dishonoring the intent there. So I'll just say thank you.
