Rules
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

It would make sense. Any serious nation in this climate would... even in times more peace full.
As we go up the escalation ladder in the interest of capitalist ambition,
the nonsense and violence (via the privatized artificial state) inflicted on the modern human will increase,
as personal liberty will decrease. These are the later stages of capitalism. On a path to nowhere on tracks coming to a end….
That is where you will find the cliff and some people will only see it when it affects the directly.
I think …. shit head toddlers with all the toys. Someones pleasure is someone else pain…
That’s why collapse is not such a bad thing. The great equalizer. Everybody chirpin thinking they Niccolò Machiavelli..
people so bored they eating each other. Hypnotized by the over socialized chatgipity dum dum dragnet as the pleasure themselves with their idols.
The modern world is just louder, faster and dumber. There has been no progress.. well I guess that depends on
where you are standing $$$ and that shit pile is getting higher with less at the top.
How far we allow them to go? I guess all the way to space.
Peek a boo I see you 👶
Russia is acting normal. To be expected. It is a dance.
The nonsense will reach as far a we can fling our shit.
The USA is a immature imperial brutal empire with vassal hornet nests that have
leaders selling assets to foreign capitalist ensuring compliance and lack of accountability.
Entanglement by design via man made crisis.
Yet if you untangled it wouldn’t help.
Capitalism is the problem.
