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!

How's the view from your high horse?

I've learned that trying to take the high road with people that revel in bigotry and corruption is a fruitless endeavor. I'm done being naive and giving them the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps that's because I live in the real world and actually deal with these people, rather than the pontificating about the intellectual concept of these people.

You are interesting. Go ahead and doubledown on hatred. Thanks. Have a great day!

Speaking of interesting, you should read up on the paradox of tolerance. It's very enlightening stuff! Thanks for sharing your perspective!

You should learn the difference between lacking empathy and reserving it for people that aren't bigots.
