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.
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.

Unfortunately, optics are incredibly important to win public opinion. As a radical leftist myself, I have little to no compassion for the man who died ; nonetheless I hope this doesn't start a pattern.
Many people see these things as entirely vibes-based, so if we don't look like the good guys, to many people that's enough to decide we aren't the good guys.
Mmh... I think that tribal identification is a basic problem (the us vs their conundrum): the danger is obvious, admit this general simplified view to conform the "only two collectives" and judge them by choiced individuals and not by the root ideas and what they bring, if humans cannot overcome this instinct they will remain ants that follow queens for no good reason...
Nazi lives don’t matter
Let's see more of this. Normalize punching Nazis.
If we need to be prepare for collective self-defense, killing violence is the field of the far right. I'm not saying "it's wrong", I'm saying that we will lose. Our collectives are made around care and support, their collectives prepare for war an terror
Of course you know that, when that asshole says that, the victim is a right winger.
Emmanuel Papon strikes again
Nazi lives don't matter.
"Hatred that kills has no place in our country" - Man trying to stop hateful people who want to kill from facing consequences of their actions.
Fuck being calm. Rightwingers keep assaulting normies and our own, because they had suffered no consequences. We should change that, forever. It is easy to be conservative, when you don't pay for the wrongs you commit.
Easily the best news I've heard since the Kirk-ening of 2025
Why is it called "far-right" and then "radical left"
also to claim that "the radical left is eyeing 2027 presidential elections" is pretty wild. no radical leftists will be winning any election, sadly.
radical
/ˈradɪkl/
adjective
adjective: radical
1.
(especially of change or action) relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something; far-reaching or thorough.

noun

1.
a person who advocates thorough or complete political or social change, or a member of a political party or section of a party pursuing such aims.
Radical change is literally the goal.
I don't think I've heard of "radical left" outside of the US? In Europe I only recall "far left" and "far right"
In France the literal translation would be "extreme right" and "extreme left".
One is normalized and one is not
Because the left is so dope!
It’s not often I’m able to read things in a voice other than my own, but I read this one as Jason Mendoza from The Good Place and it was perfect.
remember France when you became Vichy of Hitler's germany, you should go back to the history books.
I forget, what is the only good nazi...?
It rhymes with shed I think
The only good nazi is a sled nazi? Crikey, I wish they'd all just die!
...
Hey, wait a minute!!!
Von Braun? No, that isn't it.
"Chill out, everybody calm down. Its was just a nazi, the fucker got what was coming to him."
The French have a proud tradition to maintain.
