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.

Finland has more human rights violations than the rest of the Nordics complained.
You're just utterly delusional and willfully ignorant.
You're a coward and can't explain what you think. Did I fake the image?
Pretty surprising if true. Can you post a source here?
It just looked like a photo of a jail cell, dunno what it was supposed to prove
You don't see the blood on the walls or do you honestly imagine that it's legal for police to put a person suffering from psychosis to an isolation cell and deny them their medication and access to healthcare AND water while they eat themselves, try to kill themselves, and draw with their own blood on the walls?
You're pathologically avoidant. Literally, LITERALLY unable to accept reality.
You're sick.
So am I, but at least I know I am.
No I did not see blood on the walls
Oh for fucking sake, stop it.
I mentioned and highlighted it several times, in every comment.
Please, your explanation of what legal thing does Finland have that allows a man to draw on the walls with his own blood under "supervision to ensure your safety, for days on end.
Do tell me.
Go ahead.
I'm very curious to hear your version of what happened to me.
I went back to look at the picture. You mean those scribbling on the wall are your blood? I thought it was just typical jail cell scribblings tbh.
I don't think it is legal, this conversation has been more about 1) what is happening 2) how does it relate to the topic at hand 3) if this is real 4) is this a systemic or a common issue.
And after I answer throughly, you run away because you can't accept the reality of this.
Just like every other Finn.
Which is exactly my point.
I forgot about the whole convo but went back to answer your message. Not sure again what happened to you has to do with the topic tbh.
You're obtuse and just pretend that you can't deduce anything from anything I've said or any of the photos shown.
That's exactly the problem. You'd rather pretend like you literally went blind and have absolutely no reasoning ability whatsoever than accept than a one Finnish authorities may have purposefully broken laws.
Coward.
There's plenty of cases where Finnish authorities have purposefully broken laws. I don't really have trouble with believing them. Doesn't mean I believe every accusation of it though.
You delude yourself so badly it's pathetic.
Youre literally still not accepting criticism or giving an alternative explanation.
Sä oot säälittävä ja joka ikinen suomalainen käyttäytyy samal taval ku sinä ja kukaan teistä ei myönnä sitä. Mun oma vitun mutsi samanlaine "en mä tiedä mitä siel tapahtu." Tiedätpä. Mä just kerroin ja näytin valokuvia. Lopeta todellisuudelta juokseminen.
"I'm not refusing to do the thing I've ignored, run away from, pretender doesn't exist, and sorely just am afraid of. But I'm not all that, because it's doesn't matter what reality is, only matter what I, Pissdick Shitpants say reality is. And I'm saying it's not what it is. I can't offer an explanation, but reality isn't real. Cops in Finland don't torture and I knows this because... I read an article saying Finland is the happiest country in the world and the word of Iltalehti is law and 100% true."
It's just that your pictures or story don't prove what you're claiming. Nothing more to it.
They do, and I've more proof.
You're just too afraid to accept reality.
You're not trying to deceive me, you're deceiving yourself.
So what, I made those photos? Or you think it's okay for someone to be deprived medical attention for days while under supervision for "their safety"? Or you're just ignoring reality because you're a paskahousu?
There are no other options.
Pick one.
I'm sorry but there might be a reason that others have thought they don't prove what you hope they prove (as in, torture).
Also, why is this whole thing now about this one thing
I'm literally just repeating myself because of how obtuse and self-deceiving you are.
The Finnish aren't the happiest country in the world by a mile, we have one of the psychologically sickest populations there is. And the endemic part is the ignoring of that.
Which is what you're exemplifying.
You literally can't propose a single legal thing that may have happened, you have no explanation, no idea, no suggestions, not even wild guesses.
The only thing you can do is stomp your foot while going "no no no no no no not true there's no flaw in Finland. Actually, I even refuse to admit that I have the flaw of refusing to admit to faults by lying and saying I am okay with them while absolutely closing my eyes to the pile of shit that the government did.
You can't give an alternative yet refuse to accept it. That's known as a itkupotkuraivari, paskahousu.
We all are lying to ourselves and you are awake
You see lying to yourself.
Why do you keep ignoring my questions? Why do you keep stomping your foot "no that's not possible". Why do you asininely pretend that you didn't see 90% of the things I wrote.
Because you're not trying to lie to me, but to you.
Prove me wrong and give me ANY explanation for those photos and what I've told you. Legal one.
But you can't, because you're a reality avoiding emotionally stunted person who wishes to live in their lintukoto (~lalaland roughly for our English readers).

It exists only in your head
"Typical jail cells scribblings"
You've never been in a jail cell, I see.
Now you're just in denial.
I literally wrote "I wrote over 300 words in my own blood" some dozen times in comments to you. Don't pretend this is coming as a surprise now that you actually can't explicitly say any alternative despite implicitly wanting so badly to avoid the subject.
This conversation is about Finnish emotional stuntedness, which is due to the inherent psychological avoidance "built-in" to Finnish culture and language. I could explain the reasons why it's evolved and developed in the first place, but I don't feel like explaining it to a kusimulkku.
You still haven't accepted it's actually happened. You're still implicitly avoiding it. Despite having no alternative to what happened, despite me very clearly explaining what happened and you having literally said "that's probably not true", based on just your fear of accepting that anything like that could ever happen in Finland.
That exact fucking "ei meiä lintukodosssa" attitude is what is protecting the cops and why Finland has more human rights violations from ECHR than the rest of the Nordics combined.
I have also explained those two things, several times.
Here I went to my old phone to get you these
You won't be able to accept that I was literally tortured. Not physically brutalised, mind you, but that isn't the only form of torture. It's would've loved being beaten for three days in a dark room compared to this.
See how much food there is? None of it eaten?
I'm not sure what part of this should convince me that you were tortured. I'm willing to believe you had an episode of some sort.
And I'm still not sure how you expect any of this to convince others that Finns aren't actually happy tbh.
So you're naively pretending only cartoonish forms of torture you see in Blackadder are actual torture? Because purposeful sleep deprivation isn't torture?
The cops came to ask me "are you ready to talk" after three days of no-one saying a word.
You can't imagine it or accept it. You refuse to believe such practices can happen in your lintukoto.
And that refusal to see reality, refusal to acknowledge it's flaws, is what is so profound and creates the environment where "can't complain" is the answer to the question "are you happy".
And as I've shown people, literal torture by your government doesn't make you acknowledge that there's been anything done wrong by the authorities.
The word in English is obtuse.
You haven't an explanation. "Episode of some sort." Dismissing my torture much? They purposefully kept the lights on, deprived me of my prescribed medication, a mattress (that's placed there afterwards, which you won't believe obviously, on the third day they gave me the mangy blanket you can see, but no mattress).
If I was "having an episode" to the tune of eating myself while under constant supervision supposedly for "my safety", how is it possible that this happened?
In your world, it isn't because you refuse to live in reality no matter how he's your face is shoved in it. It's nothing special, and thats exactly my point. It's endemic.
