Through it all, InfoWars has shown an unswerving commitment to manufacturing anger and radicalizing the most vulnerable members of society—values that resonate deeply with all of us at Global Tetrahedron.

For those out of the loop:
Global Tetrahedron is a fake evil corporation the Onion used as a bad guy in some stories.
Global Tetrahedron is also the real company that bought the Onion earlier this year.
Global Tetrahedron the real company also really bought InfoWars in a bankruptcy auction.
Global Tetrahedron the fake evil corporation is who wrote this article.

Unless it's the real evil corporation who wrote the article, as capitalism absorbs and monetizes criticism into itself...

I was very amused seeing something cross-posted in both "Not the Onion" and "The Onion" at the same time and side by side in my feed.

They are a true unicorn, capable of simultaneously inspiring public support for billionaires and stoking outrage at an inept federal state that can assassinate JFK but can’t even put a man on the Moon.

Just when the country needed a laugh the most, The Onion went and did the funniest thing they could possibly do. This is a wonderful morning.

My favorite part is how they plan on spending the extra money. Really need to help those at-risk dictatorships!

[–] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 22 points 22 hours ago

The excess funds initially allocated for the purchase will be reinvested into our philanthropic efforts that include business school scholarships for promising cult leaders, a charity that donates elections to at-risk third world dictators, and a new pro bono program pairing orphans with stable factory jobs at no cost to the factories.

These are the kinds of hard hitting issues that the people actually care about but were mysteriously absent in the talks leading up to the election. It's just crazy how out of touch politicians are these days.

Cheers, to the continued consolidation of power and capital!
