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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

How do you think an unarmed mob of people can fight the most militarised nation on earth? There are nations like Egypt with more corruption and repression than the US that have successfully prevented any kind of insurrection due to its strong military.
In the US, the police, military and other armed forces (ICE) all mainly consist of literal nazi’s. I think you don’t realise how bad things will get if the liberal opposition keeps making the bad choices that have made them as weak as they are now.
Allow me to introduce you to the concept of a general strike.
Besides, militaries are far more likely to side with the people than the government in a situation like this.
America and France both liberated their nations against two of the most powerful military nations in the world, with governments that were far more hostile toward their people.
Firepower is not the most dangerous weapon in a Revolution, ideas are, because they can't be killed. MAGA will never win, because the more oppressive they are, the more support they'll lose, even among their own followers, and even among the military. America is too large a country, and if MAGA pushes us to the breaking point, which getting closer everyday, they will be overwhelmed quickly.
A nation this large, unleashed in a national riot against the wealthy, sabotaging, destroying, burning, looting, killing, would be very, very bad for them. The mayhem would be everywhere, and military and law enforcement couldn't handle it all. Law enforcement would be overrun within a week, and be ineffective, possibly worse.
The Sociopathic Oligarchs would run to their bunkers. We'll deal with them later. First we have to deal with all the run-of-the-mill Oligarch wannabes, who are finding out that they aren't rich enough to be invited to a bunker somewhere, but they are still considered the problem, and they will be dealt with harshly, as examples. Thought a little money made you better than regular humans? You will be reminded that you are not.
If you are a regular millionaire, you better start supporting Democrats and start fighting MAGA, because MAGA is going to get you and your family killed.
Don’t blind yourself with the idea that the US is somehow different than all other nations with oppressive regimes. There is a real possibility that the US moves further and further into fascism and not taking that risk seriously will ensure it becoming a reality.
