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.

I hope when you're in the prison camp you'll understand that there may have been a slight chance to get Kamala to end the genocide, but there was zero chance to get trump to end it.
Has the united states been fascist for decades? Yes. But even the fascists knew there were limits. But maga fascists don't have limits, don't care about laws, don't care about what you think. Maga fascists only care about their own self interest, and if it hurts the citizens, or requires aiding a full genocide to build a resort, then so be it.
So please, enjoy your high horse, I'm sure the dead children of Gaza who might have had a chance of being saved under a Harris administration will understand and forgive you.
This is some copium. Genocide apologizing copium. Not exactly something I’d want to be carrying around. Do better
No this is a person who was screaming that trump would do everything he's done so far and worse because he said he would, and was trying to get you single issue voters to see that. There's no "genocide apologizing" or copium" no there's just a pissed off citizen who's watching his elderly parents and friends on disability from the VA loose everything they depend on to live because of people like you that couldn't see the bigger threat that was trump.
Kamala whose husband is a promiment zionist, campaign manager was a zionist, and who could never formulate and articulate a single policy position on her own in any of her campaign runs? That Kamala? You're just huffing hopium. Yes, and maybe aliens would land and help us out too. I mean come on.
While we are proposing far fetched nonsense possibilities that go against what the candidates said they'd do: Did you consider that Trumps well documented anti semitism would give an even better result than Kamala?
The glimmer of a chance is better than none at all. Now we've lost everything, I'm watching my elderly parents and friends on disability from the VA loose everything because single is voters refused to see the bigger threat that was trump. I didn't like Kamala, I voted for Bernie twice, but I knew trump was a big enough threat to this country that voting 3rd party or not voting at all was a vote for trump.
I consider anyone who voted for trump, 3rd party, or didn't vote to be like an arsonist in an apartment building. Your desire to burn everything down caused you to burn down your own apartment, but the rest of us have to live with the consequences of your actions.
