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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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.

You just wrote an essay to argue semantics. Why? Maybe "refugee" would be more accurate, but the two are synonymous in the current political discussion. You're creating a conflict here for no reason other than your own enjoyment from arguing. If that's what you want to do, go to twitter.

disagreement != conflict

It's not semantics, I think the social and cultural elements of being an immigrant are interesting. And I found that by talking to people who disagree with me, it improves the chances of learning something new.

Didn't know trying to analyze the things posted here or voicing a different opinion is frowned upon here. How about:

What a boomer, he's so stupid! Fuck Dean Cain!
