Yummy onion. ಠ_ಠ

Australis13,

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

winterayars,

I mean it’s not wrong.

pdxfed,

I was a full paragraph in.

I’m still not 100% sure it is satire.

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

jose1324,

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

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

More accurate than you might think.

NewPerspective,

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

LadyLikesSpiders,

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 -_-

Politics aside, the quality of this satire is about as bad as something the political right could have scrambled together

I have no idea what the quality of their other articles is like but, as I read it, I found myself wondering if it was so over-the-top because prior drafts had been too believable. The title and even first paragraph of the article seem totally plausible. I didn’t think anything of it until I got to the line about anti-woke witchcraft.

mibo80,

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

funktion,

So long as they’re hurting the right people

PrincessLeiasCat,

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.

Zealotry?

MycoBro,

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

holmesandhoatzin,

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

PrincessLeiasCat,

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.

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.

Hotdogman,

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

bayank,

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.
