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!

Remember that nobody is protected against conspiracy theories. This shit is going everywhere.
To be fair, Mel Gibson has been a racist, homophobic piece of shit for decades now. The fact that he's waded into right wing conspiracy and grift, should be a surprise to no one.
Ever notice how Mel Gibson kept getting cast as insane people or creepers or both at the same time?
This was my point too. You don't believe in this shit like that. But also, it's always a good reminder for everyone to be careful and that everyone can be concerned.
It's okay when it's clearly labelled a theory. They can be entertaining thoughts. Some may even prove true some time, but it should be clear a theory is not a fact and should not be treated as such.
