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.

"Far-right"? yeah im really curious about the scale you are using. What would you call the AfD if they said tomorrow that they will suppport palestine?
If a party is supporting a country committing genocide along ethnic lines because of the very ethnicity that's in control in that country and would not do it if a different ethnicity was dominant, then they're at the very least extremely racist, "racist" because their support is based on ethnicity "extremely" because not even Genocide along ethnic lines makes them waver in their support.
In the Modern Era (post WWII) extreme racism is a far-right trait.
It looks at lot like in Germany most of the political landscape has not evolved away from seeing people and nations as etnics first and foremost, which is one of the core foundations of Fascist thinking, including Nazism.
Outside the Racist, Fascist logic, "never again" is about such things not being done to any people not merely to people of a specific ethnicity.
Even the non-Fascist Right would only ever rationalise support of a country committing genocide along ethical lines on money terms (just look at most of the US' support for dictatorships) or security terms (I.e. "they're valuable allies") rather than ethnic composition of the government and population of the country.
It was actually a major disappointment for me to discover that German political thing hasn't actually moved all that much away from some Nazi principles about the worth of human beings.
The one with the examples given above about how they arrested and banned people from the country people for supporting Palestine and abolished freedom of speech.
I would call a perfect example of whataboutism to not have to engage with the examples I mentioned above.
They're just asking you to explain the metric you're using.
The one using Social and Democrat for the name. Unless Social in Germany always means National Socialist Movement I associate that with a party representing left values.
American Democrats were also supposed to be left wing. And the Republicans right wing. Now we have far far right and far right.
Ok cool
