World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
-
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 10/19
-
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.

El Salvador's regime has already sent 80k people to gulags since 2022, and capitalism found it cheaper to outsource US gulags to poor countries, the same way it did for manufacturing. Rather ironic, really.
Also, Trump's definitely making money off the deal somehow. It isn't realistic to airlift tens of thousands of Americans there though. This is just the start. They'll probably start building domestic death camps soon; to disappear the bulk of the undesirables.
It is more of a way to sidestep the judicial process. The executive branch can act faster than the judicial branch in removing someone from the country before appeals. Once the person is in a foreign country, they are no longer in custody of someone under the control of American judges.
It isn't a cost saving measure, it is a legal loophole.
It's far more expensive in the long run anyway.
Facists don't really care. V2 rockets were more expensive and less effective tactically than panzer tanks, but the Naxis built the rockets...
No that was one of the few successes, v2 were ineffective weapons they were however incredibly effective acts of terror.
Terror is not an effective tactic to end a war. It only motivates the enemy more.
No one said it was to win the war itself it was too demoralize England and it worked in large part until Germany started getting carpet bombed and the dichotomy exampled the British isles relative safety.
As someone that is British I take exception to the idea the V2 rocket somehow demoralised us, even temporarily. It takes a lot more than that to break us. It was a scary weapon, sure. But it didn't reality make the reality of the war that much worse than it already was.
You can take offense at history but it's a fact constant air raids were a major demoralizing factor. That's not a shameful thing, its a natural reaction and no amount of "stuff upper lip"-ing really changes that.
What's another word for scary? Terror. It's a terror weapon not a practical weapon.
That's the thing though, they weren't demoralising. Bombing civilians is always pointless and has no measurable effects on the military outcome(except if they hit a factory that is making weapons or something like that). The Allies did make the same mistake though, in bombing civilians thinking it was demoralising the Nazis...

The only thing bombing civilians garuntees is that your enemy will continue fighting, so if you're wanting to conduct a genocide without using death camps, its quite effective for that...
You just admitted they were.
We just discussed how they were ineffective militarily.
That did succeed though.
What is this podcast supposed to do exactly?
Lastly "Nuh uh" is a bad argument.

I don't mean it as an insult, just thought taking one of those courses might be helpful for you.
