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 don't get it, unrestricted Jus soli is only really common in the new world. The Vatican doesn't seem out of the ordinary regarding this.
Right... That's the point. They (the Holy See, and thus Vatican City)... Being squarely set in restrictions... is complaining when a country with MUCH LESS restrictions on citizenship acts...
If the Vatican Cities rules were applied to the USA today. It would be a literal shit show, and significantly worse.
That's my point. He has no room to talk. He's blowing hot air up everyone's asses to make himself look better when he is significantly worse. The "old world" is de facto more restrictive, and Vatican City is significantly worse than that.
If you were born on the Google campus, would you expect them to give you citizenship? A job?
...Vatican City is not a state like any other, it's a pet protectorate of Italy. Don't compare a tiny speck of land with one of the biggest countries in the world, a country whose economy is reliant on the immigrants it wants to expel now. All that does is create a situation where employers can extort workers by saying "what's the phone number of ICE, again"?
Vatican City issues it's own passports. It is sovereign.
And none of what you said excuses them for having policies that are much more restrictive than the USA, just to turn around and "holier than thou" the USA on policies.
If the Vatican was the size of the US I very much doubt they would have the policies they do.
It's also a country which can only be accesses by passing through Italy first.
It's such a bad argument to compare immigration policies like this (I.e., I agree with you).
However, we could look at the amount of homeless people left around st. Peter's. Those could be helped even without immigration, and it's not done.
How? By housing them in the vatican museum? The vatican is smaller than an averege American Walmart. It's already crowded, housing the most important nursery home in the catholic world, while also taking in millions of tourist every year. There is no space in the Vatican.
