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!

It's animalistic nature to blow off steam, it's human nature to take a deep breath and respond instead of react. But yeah, I think the reason us leftist fight so much is because we're the only ones willing to give eachother the conversation xD
That is interesting. I'd not considered that but it does sort of make sense. For years I tried to talk to my conservative parents, friends, and family about this stuff. I don't think they ever listened, truly.
Yeah I know what you mean. Sucks too when they call themselves liberals but are conservatives in practice, they live in a very comfortable little box thanks to their paychecks, so they have no reason or need to think about the problems because "The markets are better than ever, it's working well for me, I need to work with it to feed my family." Historically, it's always those people who turn coat and turn reporter for the fascists to save their own skin. Hence my statement that if you choose your comfort and paycheck over resisting against tyranny then you're part of the problem (the royal you, not you in particular.)
