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.

I've glanced at that, & .. happen to agree with the guy, on some points..
( depends on interpretation:
Iran being incapable of self-governance so long as the entrenched political-rot won't allow any integrity into Iranian-governing .. is hard fact, in my eyes.. )
I'm seeing only 13 identification-of-comments, they're all removed, of course, so it isn't possible to consider whether it was his-bias, community-bias, mod-bias, clusterfuck-of-misinterpretations, or some "special mixture" of these, together, that is the root-problem..
Given how lets-all-pile-on-against-the-downvoted-guy is part of reddit & lemmy culture, as I've experienced, many a time,
.. the fact that someone got 200 downvotes isn't itself proof of their wrongness or harmness..
Their being blindly pro-Israel, .. that I cannot agree with,
& according to the elder rabbis who I've seen videos of, back when the Zionists 1st enacted laws setting-this-all-up, there was a prominent rabbi who spoke that something similar to fascism, or nazism, I forget which term he used, had just been enabled, & within 30 years it would produce its results..
that has been borne out.
Apparently he was the only rabbi with the massive clout to be able to speak that truth openly, at the time..
& now .. well, ideological-rabies is taking-over the entire world, with the help of social-cyber-warfare..
To me there's a problem that many are ignoring, & that is the problem of living in assumption & making-believing, until it's terminally too-late,
as the US Left did, in the last election, & Romania did, just after.
EITHER you keep politically-inconvenient-truths in-your-face, XOR you remain "unconscious-at-the-wheel", as the Left has proven its committment to doing, again & again & again..
Because I'm not permitted to judge based on evidence, & am only told that the judging proves he had no place..
I don't consider that to be good-enough for me to side against him.
I require to see, with my own eyes, evidence, before deciding that somebody actually is harmful, you know?
shruggeth
Whatever: maybe he was a troll, & maybe he was fed-up with ideological-idiots, & maybe it was a mixture of both, & maybe there is another dimension-of-explanation I'm not perceiving..
but since evidence is what I'm not permitted to consider, then I have no right to judge, do I?
