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.

"Divorce is considered an anti-socialist act"
I don't even understand what this means.
I feel like it's like saying "eating pineapple pizza is generally an anti-banking act."
...what?
I think the logic is that a low birth rate is bad for the state. To harm the state makes one an anti-socialist.
Does divorce by itself even lower the birthrate though? Intuitively, one might suspect that a couple that were no longer interested in eachother probably isn't having many children, compared to if those people were to pair off again with new partners?
Yeah, I feel like promoting healthcare for pregnant people and children, giving incentives to having kids and pushing out propaganda pertaining to sex without condoms feeling better and pregnant women being sexy is all the rage while using movies, tv, and music to push promiscuity would help birth rates.
"Had a hard day... Take it out on a hard cock." Haha things I never thought I'd type in my life for 200 Alex
The cannon fodder isn't going to make itself
I'm a firm-believer that if people do not want to understand something, then they won't.
It doesn't take much thought to realize they're referring to the unity of the nation. Divorces cause problems. They show not everything is hunky-dory. The regime doesn't want that.
Divorces solve problems. That's what they are for. What they cause is a glitch in the mirage, you think? Probably, but it might be something more idiotic even.
North Korea is all about appearances, actual solutions aren't important
Well since we're sharing firm beliefs, I firmly believe if your intent is to inform someone then insulting the person you're supposedly informing is the worst way to go about it. People just get defensive and will attempt to reject information more readily when that is done.
Now that they found a business selling mercenaries they need to increase the birth rate
