No. It isn't. Being funny or surprising doesn't make an article oniony. The Onion isn't any kind of humour, it's specifically satire. A nottheonion article is one that appears to be satire, but isn't. There is no illusory subtext to this article, so it isn't oniony.

This is the curse of every nottheonion. The general public (or you might say, regular joes) are incapable of discerning what is oniony and it always turns into Chuck Shepherd's News Of The Weird. https://shepherdexpress.com/puzzles/news-of-the-weird
The world: American tariffs mean we have to de-integrate with the USA and connect with new trading partners.
Trump: If you do that, I'll create more tariffs!
Empty room:
Trump: Shit.

Exactly the two events that got me on and off Reddit. I use LibRedirect to rewrite any reddit links to proxies that only work about 15% of the time, and it really discourages me from even bothering...
Is this true?? I suspect something closer to the way the KGB was "dismantled" and then re-assembled around the entire government.
You could think of it in similar ways. Religion provides morality basically by fiat. Veganism provides morality based in our belief that the experiences of animals are real and matter. I think that is an important distinction, but you may disagree, and it doesn't do anyone any harm if you do.

He literally used the word "vegan". You didn't have to engage with my comment if you found it off-topic, but instead, you have written more words than anyone else in this entire thread. You are displaying so many classic behaviours, like telling vegans how to be vegan, or how to convert someone to veganism when you yourself would not be converted by someone following your advice. You're aggravated by our existence because you want us to just stop reminding you of something you don't want to think about.
Your defensive behaviour has all the signs of carnism, the unconscious and evaluated value system that says that it is acceptable or even good to sometimes be cruel and violent towards vulnerable individuals. These unconscious beliefs that govern your allowable behaviour are in direct contradiction with other values you hold more consciously, such as that it is good to be kind and empathetic, especially towards the vulnerable. Holding all those ideas in your head at the same time requires a lot of psychological framework. It's exhausting maintaining it all.
I answered in the most straightforward way I could think to. I'm sorry.
I'm not sure why you are so adamant about it, but the decisions about what to eat are part of the praxis of veganism, but they are merely consequences of the values of veganism. These values are applied universally, not just to what a vegan eats. I don't even spend money on movies with animal performers.
You have very strong feelings and opinions about something which you have not researched, have not encountered in life, and have not spent a lot of thought on. Why is that?
It's kind of awesome for everyone if you don't piss off your trading partners. It happens in the first place because it's better for everyone involved! It's a consensual arrangement that parties only engage in because it is in their interests.
