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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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!

They’re really trying to pin his motivation to absolutely anything but how fucked up our country is.

WE LARPED IT TOO

I can't if we really in uncharted turf but we are going on 1 week of unity. It is grass roots too.

Media, corpos and government is doing weird fucking shit and it makes them look kinda stupid now but remember these tricks worked for decades. They were always split us and turn every situation into a left/right issue with solution being impossible.

This is a class war! We can finish culture war after we fix class relations.

I bet the "culture war" was started by those trying to divide. Maybe the class war will be a two birds with one stone thing.

I agree if everybody had enough food, housing, health and education, then yes most of culture war issues would be auto resolved.

Reminder would need to be handled with some solidarity, nothing that can't be done if people are feeling decent about their lives.

AP and CNN both reporting, for days, "no known motive". That says all I need to hear.

Witnesses say he enjoyed dihydrogen monoxide. This substance is distributed in schools.

Satire sites continue to deliver, despite my expectations that it would be so hard in this climate.
