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.

Oh fucking please. Fidesz got hammered by corruption scandals in 2024, Magyar dramatically breaks from the party over corruption, and somehow builds a massive nationwide coalition in a matter of months? The Hungarian opposition somehow abandons all its beliefs and rallies around a politician who holds all Orban's political views?
The term for this is "planned opposition".
Magyar isn't Orban's rival. He's Orban's chosen successor.
It's easy to win an election if you own all the candidates.
And y'all fell for it.
If he was supposed to be Orban's successor, they wouldn't have had him start a new party or run a heavily pro-EU campaign. That makes no sense. You'd just have Orban step down and have the new guy take over in the next election cycle. Keeps momentum for the main party and all the installed cronies, no expectation of change from the population, no need to stir the hive. If Magyar backtracks on his promises now, you'll end up with a lot of unrest among the people, exactly what you want to avoid when planning your succession.
Magyar's been communicating very effectively with the people for years. Opposition rallying behind the best chance at unseating an autocrat who threatens to establish indefinite single-party rule only makes sense.
That's why it's called planned opposition. If you're afraid of losing control to a genuine opposition movement, you set up a fake opposition movement that dramatically opposes you on a few big ticket items and generally agrees with you on the rest - or that dramatically opposes you on everything, but has no intention of keeping its promises.
Look, I'd like to be wrong. I hope I'm wrong. But I expect Magyar is going to make some dramatic economic moves that don't actually change the economy, run some corruption show trials, crack down on political participation outside the two major parties, back down on his pro-EU stances, and quietly take his orders from Orban and Putin behind the scenes.
All that matter to me as a .world genocide supporter is that now we can send our youth to die in ukraine to own the tankies.
Coz I'm very afraid of Putin while sitting in my comfy chair in Toronto .
Also yes i smell like rotten semen. I have a secret stash of dick cheese under my foreskin
Conspiracy smugness - I love it. I wonder what the technical term for that is.
Tisza already announced a pro-Europe course and who has to gain most of that - Ukraine, but since Orban can't cut ties with Russia without falling out a window it was indeed a planned a opposition conspiracy by Orban that got taken over by Ukrainian intelligence which in turn is lead by the French DGSE, to get eastern Europe out of the Russian sphere.
So basically you fell for one of the oldest tricks the French intelligence services deploy since Napoleon. If you take over the man behind the man (in this case Selensky) you can't lose and no one can trace it back to you.
NB: Ex falso, quod libet.
The weapon industry
We will see when the vote comes up in the eu to support Ukraine
Yes now we'll finally be able to give all our money to the people that bribed von der leyen. Maybe even do a draft so we can send our youth to die there. How glorious will it be?
I really want to tell you how wrong you are, if I didn't think the same... Let's hope we are both wrong!
Me: am cautiously and very slightly optimistic while being aware of the fact that Magyar has a lot of similarities to Orban, and that Orban accepts the outcome of the election.
You: You've been duped! He's Orban's chosen siccessor and you are fully unaware of this!
Like, come on, man. Have some amount of hope in the betterment of the world. I'm not saying that progress under Magyar is a guarantee. I'm saying there is a possibility.
Not OP, but even flatlining as opposed to constant downfall is a win.
