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!

You say he deserves blissfull ignorance.
No. He deserves a minute inside the Absolute Perspective Vortex.
To torment him with the realization?
Yes. The opposite of blissful ignorance is painful maximal understanding, right? Maybe he should be gifted a "Blessing of Unfathomable Empathy" by a great and powerful witch instead.
Whichever is easiest. Or more painful emotionally.
Empathy could be useful.
He could still turn his life around if he had empathy.
Could said witch perhaps try her luck on any of the GOP usual suspects and make them less ghoulish? Where would one even start?
How do you think they got this way?
From what I understand he's damn sure ignorant, but never blissful. Like I said, a stupid hick.
