I didn't even register this as satire until I opened the article. The headline is just too believable.

[-] [email protected] 38 points 8 months ago

I was a full paragraph in.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

I'm still not 100% sure it is satire.

[-] winterayars 19 points 8 months ago

I mean it's not wrong.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

Not believable at all because I've seen it with my own eyes and know it to be true.

Can always forgive a little witchcraft as long as the witch hates the gays, too. "One of the good ones."

[-] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

So long as they're hurting the right people

She has grit, plain and simple, like a certain big fella I know. Hint: his initials are J.C

James Cameron?

More accurate than you might think.

I had one crazy aunt who went to HP book burnings back in the day. She wasn’t even anything that weird, just regular Catholic. Dunno what made her think she needed to do it because the rest of the family is also Catholic and they weren’t doing it.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago

That's hilarious because my priest at the time encouraged people to read the books.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

Catholics got some extra crazy somewhere around 2000-2008, I can't pinpoint when it happened, but the community changed somewhere around that time. Like there was normal conservative Catholic, and then suddenly I noticed that Evangelical type start to join up. I'm no longer practicing now and consider myself agnostic.

They were preparing for the rapture of 2012. Must have been quite akward the following Sunday at church when everbody showed up.

I read an interesting take on 2012, which the Mayans or some ancient civilization also predicted. That the end of the world would be slow, and take years. It’s not going to be instant. I think it’s happening now, this cursed timeline that we’re all in.

[-] PrincessLeiasCat 5 points 8 months ago

Yeah that’s what I thought I also remembered about the time. I was just a kid though but it’s stuck with me for some reason lol

So fucking weird.

I read it as hp love craft and pictured her in the 40s burning books. Everyone was dressed like in the godfather.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

Yummy onion. ಠ_ಠ

[-] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

I know this is from "the hard times" But I don't know if it counts as satire when I literally know people like this -_-

“It’s witchcraft, but it’s anti-woke witchcraft, which we can get behind,”

Sounds like, someone's livin' in the past, man.

But this is how we get the witchcraft in... Finally! Prepare to call off the woke movement and we'll unveil the anti-wole curtain to reveal witchcraft to all the children! They'll be running around-checks notes... using magic or supernatural powers to inflict harm or misfortune on other!s And-... transgress social norms by engaging in cannibalism, incest and open nudity!

Muahahaha

[-] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Can't we use magic for more beneficial and fun things?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Hmm... I guess so. As long as we keep the cannibalism, incest, and open nudity.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I don’t want to live in a world without cannibalism, incest, and open nudity.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

Lol this is supposed to be satire? I see this like evey day

[-] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Why can't the title of the article just say the word we're all thinking: hypocrites

[-] [email protected] -2 points 8 months ago

Well yeah, people change. Either that or consistency is dead.
