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:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...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!

See, nothing you said contradicts what I said. Yes, they created this world, and they did so to drain from us.
But. And this is important.
Their malice is the kind of sociopathic malice that leaves little space for personal enmities. They see all human beings outside their caste as a resource to be exploited, not complete living persons that can be liked or disliked (ever notice how every corp has a literal "Human Resources" department? Yeah.) -- Just another datapoint in a dry and emotionless calculus of power.
In other words, most corporate boards don't really give a shit about queer people, but will say they support queer people if that is popular at the moment, and similarly will say they hate queer people if that is what is popular at the moment. Consider Disney's inserting of LGBTQ characters in their movies... That can be easily and effortlessly edited out for sale in countries where that isn't mainstream-acceptable. So that in some countries they can generate buzz about it, but in others they can bury it easily.
It's all about the money and never about anything else.
