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.

When a right wing (conservative) person (usually a white guy) goes on a killing rampage (the traditional shooter), folks on the right wonder what went wrong (or celebrate it). Those on the left have a pretty good idea, though: Right wing media.
When the rare left wing person kills some people (usually political targets and not random civilians), folks on the right see it as justification for all their rage and those on the left blame the same thing: Right wing media.
When the exceptionally rare trans person kills people it's the same: Right wing media is the source. Not that they read/view right wing media... It's because they were the targets of it.
Only right wing media singles out minorities and declares them as evil, less than human beings. This drives right wing people into hatred which leads to mistreatment and ultimately, violence. Violence begets violence.
Whenever a right-wing, white guy goes on a killing rampage we need to label that for what it is: Right-wing ideology in action. They're not "extremists". They're not "radicals". They're just conservatives who aren't pussies about what they believe and are willing to take action.
That guy that shot his daughter because she didn't like Trump? That wasn't a radical MAGA conservative! He was just a regular one. He did what they all want to do: Kill people they don't like. From his perspective, he dealt with the problem, directly. Other conservatives should celebrate this win of their ideology! Show the world who they really are.
We need to stop pretending they don't want violence. That they don't want to murder. That somewhere deep down, they're even a little bit reasonable.
They're not.
