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!

I agree that you heard them say that but just because someone is talking doesn’t mean they are being truthful.

That could be said about anyone at any time about anything. To me that's just hand waving away somebody else's opinion so you don't have to deal with it, and it's not valid.

I can tell you I have some personal friends who are conservatives (as well those are liberal minded), and I've heard the same kind of comments from them as I described here, and I believe what they're saying. Would be strangely weird for all my conservative friends to be coordination lying on something that doesn't really require lying.

You know, you could go and ask them yourself, instead of just assuming that they're lying and manipulating. Homo-sapiens are never that straightforward.

I am sorry your friends hate women

Well they're not close friends, and yeah it pisses me off no end as well. I never understood that logic and belief system.
