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.

You would have called for the execution of the people that got the US weekends and the 8 hour work day, wouldn't you?
Wtf no?? I'm not condemning the peaceful protestors, I am only condemning those who riot and loot; those people have no interest whatsoever in the actual cause. They use those protests solely as a pretence for looting.
Jesus Christ, the extrapolation y'all guys on Lemmy do is really its very own form of insanity. Y'all really can only think in black and whites, as in two polar opposites where no middleground exists.
You literally divided the protestors into the peaceful ones and rioters, who you call literal terrorists, and have the gall to accuse other people about black and white world views? Surely there are a lot of groups between then in a movement this big? Your worker rights don't come from the people who just sat around peacefully until the people in power got so bored they gave them their rights, most of modern conveniences arrived here with a body count.
Perhaps a bit of nuance would do you good as well?
The protests to get the American workers their protections were anything but peaceful. You should crack a history book once in a while.
were US weekends and 8 hour work days achieved by peaceful protestors?
Were US weekends and 8 hour work days achieved by arbitrarily destroying public and private property and lootings like the world is about go down?
Seriously the lack of condemnation of the haphazard violence and destruction here on Lemmy is utterly appalling.
This got serious "but do you condemn Hamas?" vibes. Do we have to pledge allegiance to old decrepit buildings before we try to change society? The people killed by the police, the state, and the capitalists are rarely talked about but a fucking building has more value for some apparently.
It's not just one buildung; it's stores, cars from ordinary citizens, public infrastructure like bus stations, etc. Do y'all really think this is necessary and good and helps the actual cause? Cos it LITERALLY does the opposite. Who tf do y'all think has to pay for reconstruction of all the public infrastructure? Exactly, the taxpayers. Money that could actually be used to address the original problems.
Bloody hell y'all are lost af. So if the rioters would destroy your car/house/whatever you would still say "nice, that helps the cause, I like sacrificing my private property and possessions I worked hard for for no fckn reason".
I literally can't understand how y'all can approve this haphazard violence and destruction.
I kinda could understand it if the rich were affected by those riots, like if their private yachts/planes/mansions where the target, but they are not. So literally the only people who are suffering are the ordinary citizens.
could, but most definitely wouldn't. Because they don't actually care. these protests are about frightening the ruling class, to make them feel they might loose more than a fancy building if they don't start rapidly fixing the world they let to crumble.
of course not. where did we say that? private property of common people should not be destroyed. I think it's you who is lost af if you think we are advocating for this too.
Nice straw man. Nobody is saying the destruction is good. However regressive conservatives only focus on the destruction. Réacs' like you don't seem to find the death and maiming by the police worse than destruction of inanimate objects. You're showing your true colors.
How's the boot? Do you like the taste of blood from protestors?
