Can the truth still be an Onion headline?

[-] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 44 points 1 week ago

Always has been.

They'll just give their assets to Alex Jones after they force the sandy hook families to pay Jones back.

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world -5 points 1 week ago

Why would they do that? They don't give a fuck about Jones, he has already been replaced.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

He's still doing shows and has millions of viewers and even Roger Stone regularly is a guest but yes get all ackshually about my half joke.

Russia defeats America*

Plenty of evidence out there showing the source of a lot of this.

Greedy Americans also had a hand.

Russia isn't to blame for this. That's a cop out. Centuries of white supremacy, colonialism, Christian nationalism, civic religion, and unchecked capitalism have led to this moment.

Two things can be true at once.

Russia is exploiting these centuries of white supremacism and christian nationalism in order to forment chaos on in the west. It had undoubtedly helped Trump ever since 2016.

I dont blame russia for this at all. I blame our right wing media apparatus for being dishonest, and lying to middle class working people and poor folks for multiple decades. When you blast people in the face with shit opinions and false information day in and day out and they're desperate to find a way out of shit, they will look to anyone who offers a simple solution. It's always been that way, and we have a number of examples across different countries throughout history to look at where this has also happened.

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yes they did all those things but at the end of the day the voters believed the lies because they wanted to. We (collectively) allowed the lies to replace the truth. That can't be blamed on anyone else.

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Other way around, greedy hands defeats America, always has done.

It's coherent and consistent for America.

Russia helped.

Ah I’ll miss you when freedom of the press is gone.

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

I mean, at this point, it will just be a formality when it is made officially illegal.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 16 points 1 week ago

This is not even satire.

[-] GrymEdm@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Man, the Onion is back to being ruthless and I love it. I'm not happy that circumstances give them so much to work with, but boy are they letting the fists fly lately.
