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!

If the working class is too busy fighting amongst themselves, the rich can continue profiteering by looting everything.

From Immortal Technique's Poverty of Philosophy.

Many of us are in the same boat and it's sinking, while these bougie motherfuckers ride on a luxury liner, and as long as we keep fighting over kicking people out of the little boat we're all in, we're gonna miss an opportunity to gain a better standard of living as a whole

The hate and the fear of violence that many non-White communities or those the LGBT community or any other marginalized is genuine. We need to protect those in targeted communities while trying to get people to understand that the only real enemy, is the rich.

To paraphrase Beau of the Fifth Column, you have more in common with the average Chinese or Saudi or Russian or South African or Peruvian then you do with the rich in your own country.
