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.

Bullshit.
A coup is a coup is a coup is a coup. Maidan was no more a revolution than if Jan6 had succeeded.
Zelensky campaigned and won on the promise of peace through the Minsk Agreement. He said that America was trying to weaken Russia at the expense of Ukrainians.
Then he watched helplessly as the Azov Brigade refused his orders to stop shelling civilians in the Donetsk City Center, precipitating the annexation by Russia.
Zelensky is now just a kapo stooge who will never outlive his usefulness to his Banderite handlers.
Maidan was not a coup, it was a popular uprising. It was a mix of all political directions which stood against corruption.
Globally there's a tendency for alt-right groups to be better organised, often through football ultras. Which is why they tend to get power after q popular uprising, while defaced/leaderless leftist groups tends to be run over in the following power vacuums.
You could definitely argue Jair Bolsonaro got to power due to primarily leftist run protests. You could argue occupy wall street was the prelude for Trump and let's not get started on the countries follow the Arab Spring. All of these are correlated. All of them sees right wing or authoritarian figures win the immediately following power struggle
Bullshit. The CIA assisted Arab monarchies and dictatorships just like it assisted Banderites in Ukraine.
A coup is a coup a coup is a coup. The coup was led by Svoboda, a fascist party that would, could never win an election.
Popularity is determined by something called elections, not fascist mobs.
