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.

Wow, what a coincidence that waaay back in 2009, James Woolsey (ex-CIA director), Dick Cheney, Rupert Murdoch, and a member of the Rothschild family all just happened to invest big time in an oil company trying to make this happen:

Why it's almost like the geopolitical and military industrial complex wanted it to happen just to serve them - the ruling classes. Isn't that just a whacky coincidence.
I'm sure a country wasn't ruined to do just that right? Surely not. Why that would be like the ruling classes and supposed "democracy" we have in the west is just thinly veiled system of Colonial Capitalism, operating no different to 100 years ago.
Yea I'm sure the Syrian Revolution was all a ploy of the Rothschilds. Nothing to do with any kind of agency by the Syrian people wanting to overthrow a brutal totalitarian regime. Just CIA conspiracies everywhere pulling people's strings with psyops. Tankie Fukuyama-ism, man. Quite a thing to behold.
The names are there on the Wikipedia page I've link in black and white. You deciding that it's a conspiracy theory simply because one name is that of a Rothschild, and another that of an ex CIA director, doesn't change the facts (eg. That they are invested in the company responsible for the exploration and extraction of oil in the area. Similar to Cheney's Haliburton during the Iraq campaign. This sort of thing is more common that you probably realize).
As for how poor and hungry citizens might face up to the bullets and tanks of a brutal regime, this video describes some of how that might go (making clear that all changes of power need wealthy backing/arms):

Your view of the world sounds quite idealic to me, I wish it were the case. I wish the people simply overthrew the dictator in a simple good vs bad conflict. I really wish the world was that way. I really do.
The Syrian Revolution has fuck-all legitimately to do with Zionist colonialism in the Golan Heights. Netanyahu using it as an excuse is absolutely nothing but pure opportunistic bullshit.
