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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Are you trying to make the case that things are better now than prior to the Islamic revolution?
The claim that there was "liberty" before is false. Unless "liberty" means being under surpression by an US installed regime.
Liberty is a broad concept and can definitely apply here. Do you think women feel like there is less oppression now?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAVAK
A lot of the structures and part of the personell of SAVAK was then integrated into the current internal police such as the Evin Prtison
There was no liberty under the US backed regime and whitewashing them as a means to present the US and Israel as the better alternative is wrong.
Firstly that proves absolutely nothing since they still have the exact same thing as well as open morality police that go around beating women.
But im not trying to make the point that the next admin will be better because the us put them there. I'm saying that regime change is an opportunity for change.
It could be a path to improvement it could make things worse we dont know it all depends on who gets into power. Regime change is weakening the party in power so a minority group can seize power.
Knowing trump, this will go incredibility poorly but just because he is an idiot and fucked it up doesnt mean it wasn't the right play at the time. If he didnt pull out of the nuclear deal and didnt attack Iran I wouldnt be sitting here thinking regime change is the best realistic option to off ramp regional tensions.
You are arguing against a complete strawman. The claim was that Iranians would "remember" "liberty", which serves to whitewash the Shahs regime. I refuted that claim as it is evidently wrong. I don't know why you think that an internal police murdering, torturing and dissapearing thousands of people would fall under any understanding of liberty.
You are cooked. I'm pretty sure people can look back on a time where they had rights even if it was far from perfect and compare it to today when they had less rights and call that liberty. Youre stuck on this internal police thing as if women aren't beaten to death by police for not wearing a hat.
