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!

first they made terrorism the biggest problem in the world, declared war on it, made tons of draconian laws against it... and then they changed what the word means.
btw, check out the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, which makes it "terrorism" to work at a job with livestock and then secretly film the abuse other people do to them.
in some states, that is "legally" terrorism.
(its illegally, but good luck appealing that when you're in a guantanamo style blacksite somewhere, being force fed rectally)

I'd call it Orwellian, but that's more fucked up than anything Orwell ever imagined! 🤬
