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.

He's a neo-nazi. He's a fucking disgrace to all the soldiers that landed on that beach to destroy the very movement he's so proud to be a part of.
That fucking drunk wouldn't have lasted two seconds on D-Day.
Hey! Hey! Drunks have been at the backbone of the imperialist war machine for centuries!
You think Westmoreland was sober after the last helicopter left Saigon? You think MacArthur was sober when he fled the Philippines? You think Seal Team Six was sober when they crashed those helicopters over Abadabad?
Substance abuse is the grease between the wheels of the grinding gears of global Holocaust. It's how the brave men stormed Fallujah. It's why drone operators can sleep at night after obliterating another wedding party in Yemen or Afghanistan. It's what keeps guards at the human slave markets in Libya and the torture camps in Abu Gharab and Guantanamo Bay.
Do you want the Terrorists to win? Do you want China to take every island from Taiwan to Cuba?! Do you want America TO LOSE?!
Then keep that whiskey coming. Wars aren't won on seltzer water
He would have been shaking and throwing up in bootcamp from the alcohol withdrawals.
Hegseth may not understand what D-Day was about
In a perplexing speech Saturday commemorating the World War II D-Day landings in Normandy, France, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth called for European leaders to combat what he implied was a second, modern D-Day—in which European countries were being “stormed by different dangerous ideologies” accompanied by “boats and men.”
The original D-Day was the Allied invasion to liberate France from Nazi German domination: the defenders were Hitler’s National Socialists and their army, and the “dangerous ideology” was anti-fascism.
Hegseth may have been confused—or, then again, we might be at the stage where our government explicitly aligns us with Nazism. After all, every single refugee we admitted to the US this year was supposedly fleeing anti-white persecution.
Hooooly....
Who controls the past now, controls the future.
Who controls the present now, controls the past.
Rewriting history to align with their ideologies with mind-blowing mental gymnastics.
Hegseth drinks his own piss.
Well it is 80 proof.
In every single photo of that warmonger, he looks like an absolute douchebag.
Good luck un-seeing this:
Olyphant doesn’t deserve the comparison. He’s a goddamned American Jedi.
That's an insult to Timothy Olyphant.
That's because he is
