Take concrete steps? Or make them over the bodies to hide them? Either way, onion may be predicting the future outcome

They aren’t even writing satire anymore...

Breaking News: Trump deputizes protestors to fight looters.

Literally every Onion article posted on this site sees the same 2 types of replies. Feels a little circle-jerkish at this point.
HCBailly
Circle-jerking on the internet? No way!

The Onion is going to have to become a lot more f-ed up if they want to stay in business.

What the fuck, that's so messed up, I can't believe it, it's almost like it's satire.
LordNergal
Except if it turned out to be true, most of us would not be surprised.

The Onion has been working their asses off lately.
ChrisMorray
They gotta do their best to be unbelievable, now that reality is in a surreal spot.
SuckerOfFun
When you can't tell the difference between reality and satire anymore, the satirists start telling the truth.

Actually clever.

satire has always been the truth, just in the form of comedy
GeminiDreams
How far The Onion has fallen. Now they're just reporting the news.

I'm a self-identified, egotistical asshole who openly admits to not giving a fuck about anything, and even I care about police brutality.

It should. You really don’t give a fuck about other human life?? Just because seeing it is an inconvenience. That’s not cool.
