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

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was a full paragraph in.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

I mean it's not wrong.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years 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."

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?

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years 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.

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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 years ago

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