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.

What structures are people supposed to create exactly?
I never claimed it was the entire problem and that it solve all of humanity's issues, but the system that they've helped create and now benefit from is what's destroying both the world and humanity. Eating just a few of them wouldn't change that but it'd be a start. That's why the fact that a few hundreds of brave Venetians won't let him do whatever he wants in their home is awesome. Entitled motherfuckers coming in their private planes and yachts acting like they own a city that's literally sinking and where locals can hardly make a living.
That's to be determined. I don't know how people want to live.
What Bezos has done for Amazon, which is ignored as he "doesn't work", has to be replaced. People have to be organized. The structure can be anything that works, but it has to be something.
Same for all the other billionaires that people don't want to see in power.
Haven't locals already been replaced by millionaires and moved to Mestre? I don't want to root for millionaires who feel diminished by billionaires.
What is it you think Bezos does and has done "for Amazon" that makes him so important? The main thing he was good at was knowing how to rig the system. If he died tomorrow you'll see that Amazon will do just as fine, possibly even better. He's not even the CEO anymore. People can't just "create structures" when all the world's resources are owned by regimes and big corporations. If I create my own Amazon-equivalent they're gonna destroy me before I ever make it big.
The Old City is being heavily depopulated, yes. Locals can hardly even live their anymore. So why wouldn't thry be angry?
Start an AWS in Europe now. You should even get government support.
Have you seen my great man comments? Nothing in particular. But if people want to do without billionaires, they have to do "it" by themselves.
Are they? "Pay more tax" sounds like a demand from American expats. More irony if they are defending Venice from Bezos.
There's plenty of Cloud companies in the works currently; I already applied for a position at Evroc. But it's not all that Amazon does.
Run corporations by ourselves? Gladly! When do the CEOs step down?
Definitely Italian names and groups being mentioned in the article. Might be some Americans and others inbetween; it's a struggle mirrored around the world. Can just be a reference to the fact that Bezos and Amazon are known tax evaders - including for their EU business. And yes, I'd imagine that people aren't happy about being priced out of their own communities - hence the widespread anti-tourism protests in general
How come it's either civil war or nothing for most lefties? Why are people willing to fight a civil war and believe in success but not willing to start a business? The probability for survival is much bigger.
That might be a genuine option if not for widespread antitrust abuses by what is essentially monopolies.. your answer to that is "just create more businesses"?
It's always duopolies because the elite doesn't trust itself. This leaves some room for business.
