Not The Onion

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!

These people show up on my Facebook, they just want the opposite of what the government says no matter what, often they imagine the government saying something just so they can do the opposite.

America has an Oppositional Defiant Disorder problem, it seems.

It really does, it's not just the right either I see a lot across the spectrum.

Ah yes, and just like in Corona days, a serious number of them then dies, and the remaining ones will cry “why is the government doing this to us?!”_
