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.

I am with the rest of the world.
We certainly don't need a strong USA.
Or any USA for that matter.
Seriously. The states mostly hate each other as is. Split up, be happier. You'll have little Russia down in the south where rights are a joke and children go back to the mines but hey, that's just good solid capitalism. And then you'll have everyone else forced to live with their crumbling neighbor slinging shit over the fence for a few decades.
Honestly youre right. As an American I really think we're hitting a point where atleast for awhile we may need to consider balkanization. I just don't know how much longer things can keep going the way they are. Maybe California, Illinois and New York could do a cyberpunk esc new usa thing since they span from coast to coast. Then when the south eventually rots away we can do actual reconstruction.
are people in general for or against secession (i.e. splitting up the US into jesusland and the blue states)? poll by upvoting (pro secession) or downvoting (against secession) this comment.
Russia has more rights than the US shithole
Man, As an American i just want to live a comfortable life. I can't do shit about the fact that a third if the country is rewarded and upset about stuff that has nothing to do with them because the richest told them to be. Fuck it man. You want to do something about it?
All these idiots voted for the warmongering imperialist uniparty.
Now we don't have to do anything about it, just watch you go down
2A black panther style
I don't get the reference if that's from Marvel, I am an adult so I never watch those.
Not from marvel. From history. And very American. If you know you know. Black Panthers were good people.
I sure know those, didn't end good, like Move, etc but at least they tried.
Yeah man, that's where we are. It will likely go worse but that's the thing people need to do. Can't suggest it. Can't organize it. Patriot act and what not. But that's the type of pressure that needs applied.
Obama made it the even worse Freedom Act BTW.
But revolutionaries don't have to follow rules do they?
