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:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...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!

This is why they hate college. Isolated students who were sheltered by their conservative parents are forced to mix with people who are different from them… and the students realize the differences that they were taught to be afraid of don’t really matter. They start to think for themselves.

Independent thought is what scares conservatives the most.

It's hard now, though, because they're saying the military is too "woke" now, too! But without a steady influx of Good Ol' Boys how do we continue to justify our defense budget?

You can't be pro military and anti-woke, a lot of the aforementioned Good Ol' Boys have the same experience as the ones who go to college: they're exposed to minorities and realize the lies aren't true. How do you keep bodies going in while telling them not to go in because it's too "woke"?

I can’t even pretend to try to shed a fake tear.
