Missing a slam-dunk headline
(lemmy.world)
(FYI - the article that the guy is replying to is misinformation. Two commenters have provided snopes links for anyone curious.)
Oops, this is some misinformation, friend. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rfk-wellness-farms/
Exaggerated claims designed to provoke a reaction, even in humorous contexts like this, make it harder for us to perceive and react to actual dangerous threats that might come our way. And we're definitely going to need to have an accurate and truthful view of the world in the coming days.
It's a good joke, it's a great joke even, but even so, we shouldn't spread misinformation.
Tfw you say something and everyone hates it and then someone else comes by and says the same thing in a slightly different way and everyone likes it ๐
That's on you, the .ml in your name means that everything you say is wrong even when you say the truth.

I was posting more for the funny reply, rather than to share the original article, but I can put a note in the post body that the pictured quoted article is misinformation.
Thanks for adding the note! :)
What an absolute asshole of a journalist you have to be to twist someone's words like that.
Idk, I'm sure that many politicians aren't advocating for LGBTQ youth to be "sent" to conversation camps.
This comment won't age well.
As well as the average American.
"No no bro, it's going to be totally voluntary, trust me, just watch as we offer it as an alternative to prison, and then criminalize things like 'taking adderall'."
