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.

Doing the "I'm rubber, you're glue" thing won't work here, because you're the one talking about doing this to stop genocide, not me. And yet you are apparently totally unconcerned with the ongoing trans genocide in America and how it would get worse under Trump.
If that does concern you, what do you plan to do about it? Will you just stand by as trans people are marched into camps and say, "I guess Biden should have done what I wanted" or do you have some sort of idea of how to stop things from getting that far that doesn't rely on other people you don't even know to do what you personally want?
Generally when I get into discussions like this with people like you, they deny there is a trans genocide going on and imply there won't be one if Trump gets in either. Let's see if you're more grounded in reality and can actually answer my question.
Hey, I'm the one trying to get Joe to win the election here, if you're fine with just giving up and letting he lose it that's up to you, I won't accuse you of secretly wanting trans people to die because that's a fucked up thing to say and helps no one.
But to answer your question, when trans people are being marched to camps because Joe Biden didn't want to say Israel should stop killing children I'll do what I always do and fight beside them.
What does "fight beside them" mean? They won't be fighting for the same reason Jews didn't fight when Nazis came for them. They were met with an overwhelming force in the entire Nazi government.
So what exactly do you plan to?
I plan to not have a conversation about resistance movements and guerrilla warfare with you right now. See you around and good luck
The resistance movements and guerilla warfare that stopped the Holocaust?
The resistance movements and guerilla warfare that is stopping the genocide in Gaza?
You plan not having a conversation about them because they don't work. But you also aren't interested in talking about stopping it before it starts.
