A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Never saw this dumb ass as an international martyr one day.
We're going to have our own little memorial ceremony. I'm feeding my dog a high-fiber diet, and she can pinch a hige loaf on a picture of KKK Charlie.
I want to live in the alternate universe where Bernie won and the rest of the world looked up to him not the one where Nazis are gaining world influence.
I still blame the large collider for putting us into this universe
The new German Nazi party (AfD) gained votes in the German election. The Austrian chacellor.is literally from a politcal party started by Nazis.
It's everywhere.
Hundreds of Italians dressed up in black shirts an marched with Roman salutes last weekend.
I’m cracking up
It kind of depresses me since they're young. Brainwashing is a thing in Korea apparently
Brainwashing is a thing in 100% of the countries. Just kinda depends on what side of the wash you are on if it matters or not.
I didn't mention it my original comment but I think there are levels of brainwashing and America is in the top 10 of brain-dead, brainwashed countries.
These dudes are probably fluent in English.
Brainwashing has little to do with the language spoken
Isn’t it? It sure makes easier to get exposed to the right tropes. And for much cheaper.
Tropes are available in every language.
American and English content is much more prevalent and much more involved in propaganda… Only looking at Hollywood and how movies have been pushing American superiority for a while it is obvious that English is a special vessel. I’m pretty sure Vietnamese also have some propaganda bullshit going on but absolutely not with the reach of American / English media.
SK is an American enclave, lol, of course they'd be fed the same anti-humanist nonsense the Burgers are. People are very stupid on average everywhere, certainly, but those who stand for nothing because their lives revolve around superficial stuff, consumerism and hedonism, will fall for anything. 🤷
As an Australian, alas, so is Australia.

No we are not you racist little prick.
😐
Based on everything I've seen come out of South Korea, I don't believe you.
South Koreans are desperate to copy Americans, which is why their women put on makeup to look white and why their nation is run by corporations.
You can find Charlie Kirk memorial events almost all over the world. Do you think this is somehow reflective of how all South Koreans think?

This is an accusation often thrown at secularists, and liberals - who are not normally Charlie Kirk fans - so your logic doesn't make sense here.
Did they not see what happened to their compatriots recently!?
Fucking dorks
Moonies?
No, probably Korean incels. They've become a real problem recently and have started to become more political.
Lol, he would’ve hated that
So dumb. Also probably got paid to attend. I’m gonna go find this little shrine so I can piss an it if it’s still there.
