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!

Mike Pondsmith just extrapolated the trends he saw in the society - corporatism, drugs, plastic surgeries, stress, crime, prostitution. He just pushed these things to the extreme and put in scifi setting. This isn't just Trump thing, this is happening for decades now.
