Oh, so this is an Onion-type, just super niche. Got it.
Yeah its right wing onion. Occasionally they have ws but usually if someone irl references them it's a signal they've got some pretty bigoted opinions
Republican media: "The sky is blue."
Average lemmy user: "The sky isn't blue. The right wing Republicans said it, so it can't be true."
Seriously, this is not healthy.
I gave them credit for being occasionally correct. Just because I think they're often off base and that a lot of their fans are some real pieces of shit doesn't mean I reject everything they say because of who said it. But go off I suppose.
Can you specifically tell me what is inaccurate about this story in particular?
Calling them occasionally correct was blatantly implying that this story was one such occasion. Your reading comprehension is lacking
So you come to comment on the story posted on a left wing platform, left wing instance, and left wing community, to call them liars when they're telling the truth. Is this your role in the left wing, to protect other left wing younglings from falling victim to manipulation by manipulating them?
