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.

Great, more incompetent MAGA wars. While we're blowing all our money on that, China has health care, built a high speed tail system, and eliminated poverty.
US is a failed state
Failed for the *poor, the rich Americans are doing just fine
Not as long as the world uses the dollar to trade.
Other countries can stop enabling the USA, and side with China or Russia's financial systems, or make their own.
Every country that stops uses the dollar to trade would be one less tentacle for the beast.
China still also likes to do murdery things, polluty things and many others.
I'm not buying China as some sort of magic wonderland.
In fact this tends to stink of that Chinese propaganda that all the kids are into.
Do they not have universal healthcare?
Do they not have high speed trains?
Not sure if they have eliminated poverty but they have taken hundreds of millions of people out of poverty.
Are any of these statements lies?
If it's so great, head on over. Tell us how nice it is.
Haha, so deflection is your game. I never said it was great and you need to go back to school to understand the English language.
ha HAAAAAA, you devil, so that's your game is it?!
You shall now suffer the SUPREME embarrassment as I CRUSH your spirit with the unstoppable power of my wit!
Ur a butt.
I dont debate with people who are disingenuous. Im done with this. Have a great day.
Well, that describes America, too, but I wasn't holding up China as a paradise, just as an example of proper economic policy. While Russia and America are the hillbilly superpowers feuding with everybody around them, China is already heading for the 22nd century.
