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!

Why are we giving this odious little twerp the oxygen of publicity?
'We' as in the the public because humans are addicted to drama.
'We' as in the the media because drama brings clicks and clicks bring money.
‘We’ as in this community because the headline is fucking hilarious
And that thumbnail
It's not a bad idea to keep tabs on what these assholes are up to. This little shit is out there everyday trying to convert people to his cause. Making him look like an idiot on social media might be a vaccination of sorts to keep other young people from falling into his trap.
Because as important as it is to deplatform these idiots, we also need to know what they're doing. They're still going to be out there actively radicalizing people and you can't fight this shit if you don't know it exists.
