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.

Violent opposition to fascism is not fascism. Intolerance of intolerance is not intolerance. It is the cure.
I agree there's no peaceful way to get rid of fascism, but proportionality is very important. I'm as angry at the Trump cult as the next guy, but you have to understand they're victims of fascism as well. Not in equal part, but it's not like they deserve death for being brainwashed.
Attempting to fight fascism in proportion is a deadly mistake.
Conservatives are not victims of their own conservatism. They are consistently dishonest, opposed to education, enemies of science and do not see nonconservatives as humans.
A conservative will never humanize you. This is because they are biologically unable to experience empathy. In fact, they despise empathy. They call it "woke" and insist it is fake, evil or a weakness.
This lack of empathy affects how they view other humans. Notice that a conservative thinks of his family as his property. He loves his wife the same way a teenager "loves" a sportscar. It's a strong emotion, but not a deep emotional bond. This is because the ability to experience empathy is a component of a deep emotional bond. Conservatives do not humanize others because they simply cannot humanize others.
When conservatives have the option to incarcerate or kill you, they will do so immediately and without any sadness because you are not one of them. You are their enemy. Hear them when they say you are their enemy. You will be treated as such regardless of your kindness toward them. Hoping they will suddenly find compassion is an error that has preceded many genocides throughout history.
I mean sure but you're using the term "conservative" which is deeply embedded in american rhetoric. You're basically saying that anyone who isn't an ardent communist or anarchist should die, which is not exactly what Popper meant either..
Conservative just means opposed to radical change. Sometimes the world gets enshittified. Sometimes a thing you gave for granted changes, and the change hurts because you know what it was like before.
