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.
- 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.

False equivalency.
The argument is that Americans seem to be either happy with or passively accepting what their country has become. If they were truly against Trump and MAGA they would all be in the streets participating in a general strike already.
From the outside, it seems that there is very little resistance.
Are your fucking kidding me? We are all passive? Go tell that to Renee Good's wife and kids. Go tell it to the guy that lost an eye to ICE last week.
Wake the fuck up. And stop fighting Trump and Putin's battles for them. You're no better than my MAGA family members with rhetoric like this being shared here on Lemmy.
Never meant that 100% of you are passive, there are obviously ongoing protests, but nowhere near enough people are participating to have any impact.
I think it's really awful that you're telling Americans to either get themselves killed by the tyrant or be treated as supporters of the tyrant. Just awful.
Some people are so nationalistic that they cannot fathom the concept of some of us not wanting to die for a country we were born into.
Ironic in this situation, but not when you realize these people are either sewing or repeating propaganda designed to divide those of us that oppose what Trump, Putin and other fascists are attempting to accomplish.
Right. And it's not like I'm doing nothing about it. I'm not a fighter, I'm a healer. I'm staying in school, enduring a shitty situation in a shitty country so that when the survivors turn up traumatized, I will be there to help them recover. Meanwhile I do what I can to arm my fellow Americans with knowledge of psychological theory - the biases and weaknesses of the human mind, how corporations and governments exploit this knowledge to empower themselves against us, and how we can strengthen our minds to resist them. That's what I'm about, and I'm not going to let a diaper-shitting pedophile and his plans for world domination turn me into something I'm not.
If you're so opposed to Trump what are you personally doing to oppose him? I mean other than whinging on social media about him that is.
You Americans act all morally superior towards other people who are stuck living under oppressive dictatorships and expect them to rise up, yet when you're in the same position you get offended when told you need to do the same.
There is no voting your way out of fascism. The tyrant will have you killed even if you do nothing because he plans on starting a war with everyone else. You might as well go down fighting back.
What an obtuse way to see the situation in the United States. As if you're using logic derived exclusively from Hollywood movies.
You're either very ignorant about how things work here, or you're deliberately trying to encite anger amongst people who should be allied and united against evil.
Either way, I hope you do better in the future. We are all better than diatribe like this.
It's really not a false equivalency. Fascists and people on the wrong side of history very famously and frequently equate governments with the entire people they govern.
You do you, though.
