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.

Is this racism, or are there genuine concerns (they took er jerbs?)
Human overpopulation should be a huge concern.
Yes. But it's not like we're importing humans from other planets.
We shouldn't support economic migration in our silly pyramid scheme system or we will end up turning canada into a desert too.
Yes. Canada the infamously packed country with no space for people. Canada that is 10% larger than the US and has less than 10% of the population of the US. If there is anyone more person moving to Canada there wont be enough air to breathe anymore!
Have you been to the Canadian shield? You cant grow food on rock thats covered in snow 7+ months of the year. Overpopulating canada in our more temperate areas just leads to less farm land to continue to feed the world with.
Canada is still not overpopulated in the temperate areas. 90% of Canadians life within a few miles of the US border. Canada is a net exporter of food.
Is this some 'great replacement' nonsense about how "they" are outbreeding "us?"
There is a bunch of cults breeding like rabbits for sure, I don't know what is us and them besides that we should protect and make better the land we were from and history has shown humans are a virus on the land killing biodiversity for shiny trinkets, so why bring more assholes here to pollute?
So that's a yes.
Ok i guess so please don't replace me with 10billion more homosapiens and extinct every other large mammal.
This seems to be what you're talking about. Are you aware of it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Replacement
I'm aware and hope for it, Christianity hopefully gets replaced with some ideas whereas you're not required to have your head up own ass like it and its brother religion/cults
As if they could overpopulate those countries.
If they are allowed to stay, then they must adapt to each country's lifestyle.

Past 4 years puts it at 8,280,550. Or nearly 2.5% of the US Population. And this number is "interactions" meaning there's more coming across the border than that which goes undetected. Depending on where they specifically it's entirely possible for them to overpopulate areas and place undue burdens on infrastructures and social safety nets.
If waves of them hear that NYC is a great place to be and all head there, well now NYC has a burden of dealing with that cannot do things like pay into taxes legally (no SSN to report wages to). Depending on where you live, you very well could be observing "overpopulation". Or at least it may feel like that (more demand for housing, resources, etc.)
I agree with this. While America and other countries are all "melting pots" of sorts. There's a reason you migrated... If you're not willing to adapt to where you're going, then why did you leave where you came from?
