Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If the allies of WW1 and WW2 saw into the future of America doing this, they probably would've banded together and have knocked the US around a bit.
Yeah, that was never possible. Mostly due to the geography of the US.
As to the whole "if they could see the US now" bit, they could see it then.
The US before and after the Second World War was far too friendly with Nazis. The first head of the CIA was a Nazi and put a Japanese war criminal in charge of Japan.
The guy co-signed the declaration of war that launched the attack on pearl harbor, and that was the least of his crimes. The guy was pulled out of prison by the CIA and put in charge of the Japanese conservative party.
Now for the US behavior before WW1, the term Banana Republic was not originally referring to a clothing store. The US toppled multiple governments, so that fruit companies could literally take over.
Go earlier then that and you have genocide and slavery.
With all that said, Thomas Jefferson is the perfect founding father. A slave owner who wrote about freedom. A hypocrite of the highest order, who was called out on his bullshit at the time. Oh yeah, and a bit of a pedo. Sally Hemings was 14 when Jefferson started rapping her
Hemings was also the enslaved half sister of Jefferson's wife.
Now, I can also do this sort of airing of dirty laundry for most of Europe, which is why no country of the time even thought to criticize the US.
The hell are you talking about? How was Sidney Souers (or Roscoe Hillenkoetter) a Nazi?
Allen Dulles, Sorry, he was the first civilian director of the CIA. I had misremembered that part. But yeah, he was the guy who pulled Kishe out of Prison to then rule Japan (and erase a lot of war crimes from their education system)
