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.

It takes just one brave soul
Let not just make it sbout Greta, she is great but other volunteers are also as valuable
Zero coverage on Chris Smalls from the corporate media. Dude was literally tortured by the IOF.
I respect Greta. Don't get me wrong. It's actually amazing that someone that came from a wealthy family did not just end up being another shitlib telling us to stop using plastic straws to save the planet.
It's a testament to her moral compass that it lead her to be radicalized.
If the liberals avoid talking about you and the conservatives hate you then you're doing something right.
But Smalls has always been ignored by the Liberals (unless they could use him as a winning point after the fact). Greta was meant to be a symbol of the liberals form of climate change inaction (but she didn't play ball and was largely dropped). They can't avoid talking about her as easily because the conservatives hate her.
Conservatives hate Smalls but they largely just don't know who he is. So the liberals can ignore him more easily.
Absolutely. The media bias is terrible.
I believe the Freedom Flotilla site posted an interview he did with ABC News where he was able to briefly recounts the horrific racism and assault he endured at the hands of the Israelis. Thanks for raising his name again. More people need to hear what he experienced.
Anyone who hasn’t seen it should go give it a watch and a listen.
Edit: to add to your expanded post. I agree Smalls is largely ignored by liberal media but I think his action and involvement reaches to others that Greta can’t. Greta is also selectively called upon when it suits their bias. We need everyone. He took on extra inherit risks and he deserves every bit of credit and validation for that fact. And I think he’s exposed more Israeli lies about how “tolerant” and “progressive” they are socially. Completely ignoring they have massive problems with racism and homophobia in their ranks and society.
agreed
… And her 27 ship flotilla
It's not her ships. She is just one of msny couragous volunteers
