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.
-
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.

Yeah of course they matter, thanks for making really weird assumptions about my morals based on a domain name you fucking weirdo. Do they justify supporting any given country invading them is the question here. I don’t think there’s a number that could get me to support that but it seems like you have one you’re just not willing to name it. So far it’s narrowed down between 6 and 36000.
It's a perfectly fair assumption given the fact that you're attempting to equate two numbers that are multiple orders of magnitude apart for ideological reasons.
What sort of action should the world take against governments that murder protesters?
in Tankie logic a few dead americans is somehow means the USA should collapse, but the mass murders of Mao and Stalin are totally OK because it was for the 'greater good'. because things are SO GREAT in those countries for the average citizen... soooo much better than it is in the USA/Europe.
Everyone agrees that killing protesters is wrong, no matter the number. The real issue isn’t just about how many deaths justify action, it’s about fairness. Why do some countries face outrage and others don’t?
Instead of arguing over numbers, maybe we should focus on how to hold all governments accountable without making things worse. (Which is just dreams, we can't really hold anyone accountable nowadays)
Violence from outside rarely fixes things, but ignoring injustice isn’t the answer either. The goal should be justice for all, not just the cases that fit our biases, and no country should unilaterally decide when or how to intervene in another’s affairs without facing serious scrutiny.
Ultimately, I don’t believe the US and Israel would intervene in Iran to protect protesters. It feels more like a pretext to install a regime that serves their own interests, more precisely, Israels interest. For "the great israel".
Also, never forget Holodomor, done by the zionist stalin in order to decimate a freedom movement at that time.
