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!

They kinda think that the socially disadvantaged (as in "depressive district", or as in "gopnik") layer of the general Russian population pays attention to such statements and believes them, cause for that layer being gay is very bad, prison caste system and all that.

However, even that layer of the general population is 97% not that dumb. And those who are sufficiently dumb do not pay attention.
