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.

the thing about fascists is that everything that doesn't involve bending the knee and pledging complete loyalty and respect to fascists is a cause for uproar
remember some years ago, the far right outrage over starbucks for daring to release xmas cups that were just solid red because they weren't jesusy enough?
these people are fucking insane cultist psychopaths
They cause an uproar anytime they don't get what they want. Like toddlers having a tantrum. It's part of a very calculated strategy, and the sad part is, it seems to work.
I work for a major casino in Nevada. During the last campaign, we hosted both Tim Walz and Donald Trump. When Walz was here, his supporters were absolutely pleasant to have over. Polite, mature, etc. Then the Trump Campaign had their event, their supporters made it a point to go around the casino acting like immature high school kids that just attended a pep rally. It was like they were going out of their way to disrupt operations of a business that actually welcomed them in. It really exemplifies the type of absolute trash filling that portion of the American population.
As Thomas Mann put it referring tothe late 1930s, they tried dicatorship of the proletariat. Now it's dictatorship of the scum of the earth.
I'm still trying to decide how much is that, and how much they just like outraging. Gets the blood pumping, y'know.
Kirk certainly knows what it's like when the blood's pumping.
Not for long.
Maybe we need to do the same for anthing caving in to fascists, and write it off as "weak" when they do so. Fascists detest being called weak.
And then they have the gall to say they have thick skin and that liberals are the snowflakes. They have contempt for reality.
