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.

Can you quote some places that work in this exact scenario? These links look exhaustingly vague, and also old in a sense I do not see fresh edits put after the fall of USSR and Balkan wars and genocides - the cause of many running from that place in Europe itself. It is kinda weird. Nothing actualizing that after 9\11 and Syria too. And EU countries put public quotas of how many refugees they can take in with an agreement with the UN, and called out Belarus on using refugee crysis as a weapon... Can you point out what I don't see there?

That it sometimes runs counter to your Centrist "sure, we can uphold the rights of SOME people, but surely not all" middle of the road nonsense doesn't change the law.

Besides, contrary to xenophobic popular myth, immigrants are in general a net BENEFIT to the destination country's economy, refugees especially so.

And that's not even counting the benefits of a more diverse culture as opposed to the stagnant monoculture that anti-immigration conservatives tend to espouse.

Why'd not you paint me a fascist outright? It seems like you suppose I'm all for ethnostates and hate immigrants, and I'm not to dictate your vision.

I don't know what experience you generalize by your second paragraph in my quote of you, I guess the american one? It is not a blanket statement because its' success depends on processes of integration of said immigrants into existing system and coming shenanigans. My Russia does it wrong for example and I can tell about that but not in that thread as it's irrelevant.

The later paragraph also depends on how they are integrated, if integrated at all.

ed: Like, if there's no communication between the home community and refugees and they are distanced, there are no benefits to reap.
