Not The Onion

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!

Banning is easy. Actually formulating policies to handle geopolitics and develop the socioeconomy of a country is hard.

Reminds me of that Vice article about the Taliban being disillusioned by all the "office work" involved in running the country after they retook Afghanistan. It was almost laughable. Like a dog that caught the car only to discover that it wanted the chase more than the car itself.

This is my favorite line from Hamilton.
