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.

And that's why Kamala's stance on Palestine never bothered me.
I knew that as bad as it was, Trump would be worse.
I was right.
Gaza was fucked under either presidential option and we all knew that. Now we also get to enjoy getting fucked by Trump at home and hand the right the country. Other countries get to get bullied like Canada, Colombia, Greenland, Panama, and who knows who else and to what insane degree. Plus, Gaza will get to deal with a president that doesn’t bend to protest pressures at all and gives 0 fucks about humanitarian issues. We sure showed Biden for being an AIPAC puppet like the rest of the government. This is why the right has taken our government over. We constantly in fight and ignore realities for ideological purity while the right unites under the broad strokes of their agenda. When no option has the desired outcome, sometimes you have to pick the lesser evil.
Nope, under the Democrats, there are many Representatives who would listen and put pressure on a Dem president to do the right thing. Thanks to people with a smooth brain who think BOTH SIDES SAME, they are going to find out what everyone else already knew.. they were never the same.
Hey but while Im being lead into a camp a bunch leftists here can feel good knowing they did the "right" thing by not opposing fascists
Indeed, this is what I keep telling people.
There's no happy-feel-good everyone walks away with their faerie tale sitcom ending.
The world situation is fucked, when your options are crawl through broken glass or swim across a river of piss, well it might not smell good, but at least I'm a strong swimmer and urine is allegedly sterile.
Okay I double checked, urine isn't sterile, but it has low amounts of bacteria and isn't going to lead to me bleeding out or needing immediate medical attention.
If Harris was worried about it, why didn't she change course on the campaign trail?
Why did she let Trump take office?
Because most people weren't arguing about Gaza and it wouldn't have changed the outcome.
With the benefit of hindsight, the only way she could have won would have been to address the high cost of living. "The economy" was the highest ranked issue and people voted for the guy who lied about eggs.
Well, I know it wasn't the sole cause for her loss.
No hindsight needed! EVERYONE was telling her campaign this, and they ignored it, in favor of "data driven strategy", where they A/B tested the hell out of everything for a theoretical "typical voter".
Yes, because Harris wasn't believing anything to be an issue, while homelessness is spiking, costs of living are spiking, costs for housing are spiking... Harris demanded people believe her, over their own growling stomachs.
So, yes, her loss was multipartite, and had little to do with voters who couldn't be arsed to vote for someone who has no connection to reality, and loves engaging in genocide.
These comment are absolutely insane. It is like, yes lets cook this genocide on slow heat for a few years while enjoying our life in the US. Blaming anyone who took stand, and continue to take stand, instead of blaming themselves.
If Gaza was actually a reason for democrat losing, why people didnt protest who they did it to the point where it was clear to them it will make a difference. And if they did, why blaming people instead of the party that didnt want their votes?
On top of that as you and everyone mention it is economy proven by data, but they want to blame people whos families bombed by american made weapon! Like wtf is wrong with these people!
She didn't let Trump take office. You and everyone who didn't vote for Democrats or worked around the clock to try to depress voter turnout for Democrats let Trump take office.
Lol she literally ignore Michigan voters, they attack heavy handed youth protester, then ignore people who saying economy is fucked. She did let trump take office.
She didn't?
Last I checked, she peaceably handed power over to him...
Sometimes it's better to rip the dressing off ad quick as possible.
Harris' was to let them be slaughtered in place....
Did, did you not read the original post that started this converation?
Unfortunately, some people are more willing to fight Israel to the last Palestinian than seek realistic solutions.
A realistic solution could have been had over a year ago, if we stopped blocking the UN, and stopped shipping them the tools to genocide...
What's worst? Forced relo or outright slaughter?
It's both genocide...
It's cute you think the Trump administration is going to prevent outright slaughter.
I never thought he would. I just never actually thought Harris would, either.
