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:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...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!

Oh boo hoo - listen libz, the fact is the Democrats love the genoside and everyone was absolutely right to usher in this fascist criminal organization to destroy the country from behind the desk.
I can't even tell if this is satire. If it's not, you need to dial it back.
For my sanity, it has to be satire
It's got to be, right? With the misspelling of "genocide" as the little nod that lets you know they're imitating a profoundly stupid point of view.
(shhhh - yeah very much satire)
*ahem*
Nooooo it's all truuuuuue!!! I are a real anticarstical sociapolist!
It’s just hard to tell man. I was talking with someone who was a real life human person living in Kyiv, and he was filling me in on all kinds of things about what the citizens of Ukraine REALLY think is important to know about the war, that sounded a lot like satire.
Interesting - like, real things or you think they were just bullshitting?
Very much bullshitting. He kept bringing up the $20k bonus for signing up as a contract soldier for Russia, and said they wished that kind of deal in Ukraine. Euromaidan was a Western psyop, with paid thugs coming in rough up anyone who opposed it, Ukraine’s military was corrupt and mismanaging the war, he wished he could live in Russia and travel freely, lots of exciting stuff.
Eventually, what I told him was that as long as he sent me comment replies filled with bullshit, I was planning on making posts that contradicted his narrative, so the sum total of influence each of his comments would have on the narrative would be against his favored position. I posted the Euromaidan article to !wikipedia@lemmy.world and sent him the link. Weirdly enough, he suddenly hasn’t been interested in talking about it any further since then.

Nice - well, well done you!
I recently started to use "/s" online, because comments like this now also hurts my brain.
