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!
-
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.

Can we finally agree capitalism doesn’t give a fuck about anything but profits and therefore CANNOT self regulate?
end citizens united -- corporations aren't people
end lobbying so shell oil doesn't have 10000000X time and money to affect the government as a person does.
Quit assigning good/bad labels to companies that operate within the law and furious pursue laws that make us more equal, richer and safer overall
???
profit
Yeah, but how are you going to realistically do that?
I'd love to know. Because I hate citizens united. But what do you propose people do about this?
I don't know -- It feels like we should be able to use the internet to make grass roots new and hard to corrupt political movements but I don't see that happening at all.
There's also the 250 year empire rule which we're at now against stability with the current system.
I honestly have no answer other than a "vote or die" but we all know that doesn't work.
The answer is you vote or we lose democracy. That's the simple end-all be-all answer here.
Biden might not be what every single leftist wants, but I guaranfuckingtee that it won't just be illegal aliens in his camps. It will be you as well.
I personally don't want to live in Gilead. I don't want to fight in a civil war. I'd rather much prefer we vote in Biden, let the Silent/Boomers die off, so we can fix this shit.
I can almost smell the Gen X coming off your grim resignation to boomer die off as a new beginning. We've waited impotently for so long.
Hah, I'm actually a millennial, but it's happening to the tune of 5,500 boomers a day. Even more for the silent gen.
I know its someone's grandma or granpa but 924,000 is an exciting number.
yeah but that just kicks the can down the road, not that I disagree or anything. I don't know of any real solution.
Okay so what's your option then?
Because sitting out wont do anything, and acting like nothing is happening for people is also not doing any good.
ending capitalism. they won't let us otherwise.
I said realistically. That's not realistic at all. It'd be great to have a post scarcity economy. I'd love it. But that's not realistic.
african countries are doing this right now. we have a consistent method already.
all you need is actually wanting it. doing nothing is not gonna fix anything.
Something Something profits!
